With a career spanning nearly two decades, multi-platinum recording artist Fefe Dobson is a true renaissance woman within the entertainment industry. Emerging as a pop/rock artist in the early 2000s, she stood out among her contemporaries as an edgy black female outlier in an otherwise male dominated genre.
Fefe has steadily been releasing new music including singles “FCKN IN LOVE” “Recharge My Heart,” and her punchy new single “HUNGOVER,” which will all appear on her upcoming album EMOTION SICKNESS due later this year. The sound of her new music is a return to Fefe’s earlier albums, combining angsty lyricism and unapologetic punk/rock driven production.
The recent success of international artists like Willow Smith and Olivia Rodrigo with their rock driven pop anthems has shifted the musical landscape for the younger generation. This shift in sound broke the door open for pioneers like Fefe to be rediscovered and celebrated for the groundwork they laid. As NYLON Magazine thoughtfully notes “Dobson inspired Black alternative kids who saw themselves in her.” Even SZA listed Fefe’s music as an influence for her #1 selling album SOS. The revival of nostalgia in modern pop music is apparent and Fefe’s earnest lyricism and edgy sound, reminiscent of the aughts, is on the cusp of resurfacing into the 2020s.
Fefe now readies her new album, inspired by different eras of her own music catalog to pay homage to her influences over the years and really celebrate her own legacy in the alt space as a BIPOC female artist.
