![]() ![]() These “fresh tracks” (as they are being called) will serve as soundtracks for the daily CBC-TV video montage of images recapping recent events during the games. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has teamed up with Universal Music Canada and Sony Music Entertainment Canada to launch five brand new Olympic-themed songs by Canadian recording artists for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games. Fefe Dobson’s Sunday Love is one of the best Canadian rock albums of the new millennium. Now available, its placement in the timeline of sound rallies the scattered jigsaw pieces together and completes the landscape. Ready for release as iTunes and the digital revolution came online, the launch of Sunday Love misfired, the key missing link between obnoxious noughties punk and resolute modern rock. Sunday Love is so good that the only disappointment one feels when hearing it is the heart breaking at thoughts of its cancellation. “Don’t Let It Go to Your Head” contains one of the best choruses of all-time. ![]() This slight camp though makes the ride more enjoyable, as the body-hugging energy and exciting musicianship flows engagingly through the 14-track disc. At times, Fefe’s vocals tickle flamboyant leanings which have resonated with some more than others. The writing is phenomenal and the production top notch. The listener able to see through the media games of associating genres of music with types of artists and conveniently altering definitions of style names, will find Sunday Love a solid rock album. Dobson was mature in that she simply moved on to the successful Bob Ezrin produced pop album Joy in 2010 which spawned three big hits. Some of its songs were featured in films and television programs. A number of its tracks were covered by other artists from Taiwan’s S.H.E., to American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, and Selena Gomez. After, and in part because of, its cancellation, Sunday Love garnered a respectable cult following. ![]() Singers from the Idol shows were getting the attention and jingles from commercials became the big hits. 2005 was a difficult year for music in general as it saw the transition to digital throwing the charts and the fate of CD singles into disarray. The album release was thus postponed and eventually cancelled. The two lead singles were not picked up by radio despite rave reviews and therefore did not chart. The album was to come out in September 2005 through Island Records. Consider her collaborators: Joan Jett, Courtney Love, Cyndi Lauper, and Pharrell Williams among others. Dobson was on a roll when her debut self-titled punk album hit platinum sales and drew a pair of JUNO nominations. It is a very important album, and it’s time to talk about it. iTunes in 2012 was not available in Canada until recently.
