Fefe Dobson – Joy (Universal Music Canada)

I never bought into Fefe Dobson’s faux angry-girl act in the past but interestingly, her newest record sees some of that anger supplanted with decent pop songs. There is no question that Dobson has matured immensely since her 2004 debut, most notably in the song-writing department. Though there are no moments that will leave you speechless, some occasional mindless pop never hurts anybody. Highlights include Ghost, Thanks For Nothing and Didn’t See You Coming.
