Produced by
Roger Greenawalt, New York four-piece
Eve's Plum debuted with their 550 Music release
Envy. Lead singer
Colleen Fitzpatrick is an engaging vocalist who is reminiscent of
Debbie Harry and
the Divinyls'
Christina Amphlett. Musically, the band is power pop all the way from the starting gate and opener "Blue." Sometimes, they fail to get anywhere with their melodies like on "Venus Meets Pluto," which consists mainly of
Fitzpatrick repeating the song's title in a siren-like vocal over a hypnotic groove, but they never fail to be listenable. They succeed better on cuts like "I Want It All," which swings between poppy and aggressive with
Michael Kotch's ringing guitar giving the song a new wave feel; "Lovely You," an angst-filled ballad that becomes menacing as it builds into a confrontation with an unfaithful lover; and the closing "Kiss Your Feet."
