Fefe Dobson was a Toronto-born teenager with a mean streak of guitar in her pop when she arrived in 2003, and she'd already turned down a deal from Jive before signing with Island/Def Jam. Her self-titled debut came out that year, full of snarling riffs, bubblegum choruses and a kid's refusal to be told what to do, and "Bye Bye Boyfriend" did well on the Canadian charts, and the record earned her a Juno nomination. "Take Me Away" and "Everything" rounded out the radio run.
The follow-up was a mess of a different kind. Sunday Love was meant for 2005, but production went sideways, the release was scrapped and Dobson walked away from the label over creative differences; the album finally appeared digitally in 2012. She was back with Island by the time she made Joy in 2010, and its singles "Ghost" and "Stuttering" kept her success rolling in Canada.
