Most adolescent come out singers are actual teenagers world Health Organization apparently try to moult their bubblegum look-alike and shoot for credibleness erstwhile they receive older. Vitamin C is a foreign exclusion: The quondam Colleen Fitzpatrick was lead vocaliser of the punk-pop band Eve's Plum showtime, and and then made the switch to explicitly teen-oriented dance-pop when that band broke up, by which sentence she was well into her late 1920s. Fitzpatrick was born July 20, 1972, in Old Bridge, NJ; she was a terpsichorean in high school earlier decorous a singer in respective local bands. She likewise tried acting, landing a function in John Waters' Hairspray in 1988. In 1991, she and guitarist Michael Kotch met while attending New York University and formed Eve's Plum together; later around a year, they landed a deal with Sony and wound up releasing two albums, 1993's Envy and 1995's Cherry Alive. Fitzpatrick afterwards left wing for a solo career, likewise pickings on performing roles in The Naked Gun 2 1/2, Liar Liar, The Mambo Kings, Dracula 2000, and Get Over It.

Her debut record album, Vitamin C, was released in tardy summertime 1999 and it produced two decent-sized hits in "Smile" (which featured Jamaican dancehall toaster Lady Saw) and "Me, Myself and I." Vitamin C truly took off, though, with the impeccably timed handout of the third single, "Graduation (Friends Forever)," the about blatantly teen-aimed song on the record. "Graduation (Friends Forever)" became a huge rack up in the give of 2000, hit the Top Ten and serving fight Vitamin C into platinum-sales territory. Fitzpatrick jumped on the marketing opportunities, licensing everything from her have doll to a shade of lipstick coordinated her signature orange River tomentum. Toward the end of 2000, the second Vitamin C album, More than, was issued, clean a more age-appropriate range and topic matter. Again, it spun off a mates of decent-sized hits in "The Itch" and "As Long as You're Loving Me," only it didn't make a breakaway boom on the order of "Gradation," and More than failed to crack the Top century.
