Introducing ... Fefe DobsonShe’s not Avril, and she wants all of you to know that.

Hitting MTV and radio stations across North America this past holiday season is the newest artist from Island Records, Fefe Dobson. Her self-titled debut album is set to hit stores on December 9th, in support of the release will be a seven-city promotional tour.

Inspired by many different genres of music and artist range from Lionel Richie to Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, Dobson put together all her influences to rock out while recording her first album. It was the artist that she grew up with where she pulled out most of her inspiration.

“In the booth where I was singing, I had inspirational posters up: Coldplay, Jeff Buckley, The Vines, Judy Garland, and of course, Nirvana. I felt like, they’ve done it, and now I’m doing it,” said Dobson.

Dobson even co-produced the album along with Jay Levine from Left Hook Productions. Having known Levine for sometime, she says, “we wrote a song together within the first ten minutes of meeting each other. It was magic.”

As many of her idols did before her, Dobson has taken her personal experiences with family, friends and love to write this album. But according to her, working with Levine was one factor that made a huge difference in the way the album turned out.

“We’d play something on the guitar, then I’d play something on the piano, and the parts would vibe off each other. I’d just think about my life, and my experiences and start writing.”

Although her album will only be hitting stores this year, she nearly signed a record deal a few years ago in Canada, but decided against it. Dobson felt that she could round out her sound more with guitars and she set out to do just that. Now, she has the sound that she was looking for in her music.

“It’s a bunch of different influences, and different genres, pulled into one. Everything from Nirvana to Madonna. And it has a taste of Red Hot Chili Peppers in there too,” she says.

Besides the release of her album, Dobson is mostly looking forward to performing in front of crowds of newfound fans.
