Lucy Woodward - Dumb Girls
Lucy Woodward was one of the many US (although in this case she was born in England) pop-rock chicks who appeared in the wake of Michelle, Avril etc.'s success and she is quite possibly my favourite of the bunch. Her songs are very catchy, more pop than rock, but still a few guitary bits. Great pop hooks and plenty of girly attitude. Stacie Orrico's ace hit (There's Gotta Be) More To Life originally appeared as a b-side on this very single and that gives you a good idea of the sound to expect from Lucy. The follow-up single, Blindsided, is equally if not more ace and the album tracks What's Good For Me and The Breakdown are also worth a listen.
