Very nice, August 29, 2006
This review is from: The Orange Album (Audio CD)
Stefy made their splash with the song "Chelsea", both featured in the movie John Tucker Must Die and in clubs across America with a bevy of hot remixes. Their debut effort, "The Orange Album", continues in the trend of 80's synth-pop in the vein of The Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams".
Singer Stefy Rae has a strong voice (a nice contrast to a lot of the breathy female vocalists who have been popping up everywhere) and she showcases it well across the 11-track album.
The tracks are typical pop fare, dealing with love, loss, and acceptance. "Orange County" is about a young couple that deal with pregnancy and the real world a little too early.
Luckily if you like grrl rock (like Le Tigre) or mainstream pop (like Pink) this album should do wonders for you. It may not be the best thing to be pressed onto metal and plastic, but it is definitely a cut above the rest.

This band rocks!!, September 3, 2006
I just saw this band in concert last night and they put on an awesome show. The lead singer, Stefy, is gorgeous and has this edge to her that just screams sex appeal. The CD is good too...the songs are catchy and they cover the range of slow to fast. I would recommend this to anyone...give it a listen.

If you like early Berlin ... Catchy, fun, solid from young band, November 20, 2006
Admittedly, this is not the most original sounding album of all time. And, yes, the lyrics to "Orange County" are far from Baudelaire. But this is a great little album. If you liked early Sex-era Berlin, you will love this album. Stefy sounds so much like Teri Nunn (Berlin) it is spooky. At points the album sounds a little like other 80's acts Missing Persons and Expose, or recent Scanners. I agree with other reviewers that the album is most solid at the beginning, but most of the songs are at least catchy, and I also really like "Orange Crush." Give it a listen.
