Emotion Sickness is the fourth album of Canadian singer-songwriter Fefe Dobson. It was released on September 29, 2023. [1]
After the release of Joy , Dobson worked a planned fourth album titled Firebird that was eventually cancelled in 2014 after a split with her management. "I wasn't sure if I was making the right choice musically; I got scared that it wouldn't get the love 'Joy' got. So, I just killed it." [2] Following that, she wrote and recorded anonther album, releasing the single Save Me From LA before shelving it 2018. [3]
In an interview, Dobson stated that the album was written in two months as opposed to previous albums, which were usually written in a year or two. [4] Much of the album was recorded in Toronto's Fairmont Royal York Hotel. [5]
Samuel Stevens of Crucial Rhythm stated, "Emotion Sickness is not only a triumphant return for Fefe Dobson but also a testament to her enduring talent and influence on the music industry. As the world embraces a resurgence of nostalgia in modern pop-rock, Fefe's earnest lyricism and edgy sound are poised to make a significant impact in the 2020s. This album is a testament to her evolution as an artist and a reminder of her enduring legacy in the music world." [6]
Of Flood Magazine, Mike Lesuer stated the album, "sounds less like a nostalgia trip and more like the product of a musician who's kept up to date on the quickly evolving conventions of pop-punk, the record's nine tracks incorporating vibrant electronic sounds and ambitious emotional climaxes in equal measure. Without sacrificing the rebellious attitude and melodic flare heard on her self-titled debut album of two decades ago, the record feels like a proper reinvention of a MySpace-era artist for the TikTok era." [7]
All tracks are written by Fefe Dobson, Bryn McCutcheon, Kirstyn Johnson, Sam Arion except where noted.
