This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
C Spice? Why not?
This debut from hip-popper Vitamin C — really Colleen Fitzpatrick, formerly of alt-popsters Eve’s Plum — is a sweet sugar rush of pop-confection perfection that makes both Ginger and The Spice Girls’ latest offerings seem like last year’s Sweetarts. Dancehall riddims, electro-lite ballads, ’60s go-go beats, Motown melodies; you name it, Fitzpatrick swirls it all together here with a wink, a smirk and more than a dollop of Girl Power. Not to mention a fair bit of musical savvy: This is the only dance-pop album you’re likely to hear that references both The Clash (she samples Magnificent Seven) and Mott The Hoople (she paraphrases All The Young Dudes). Vitamin C? More like Vitamin B+.
