TORONTO — Fefe Dobson would like a moment to reintroduce herself.
It’s been the better part of a decade since the Scarborough, Ont. native, known for radio favourites “Ghost” and “Stuttering,” practically vanished from the music scene with almost no explanation — but she’s back with a renewed determination and a fresh single.
“FCKN IN LOVE” will sound new to listeners, but it was actually pulled from Dobson’s vault after being recorded a decade ago for an ill-fated fourth studio album.
Dobson says plans for that project fell apart as she second-guessed herself and her pop-rock sound.
Now 37-years-old, she says it’s time to finally release the song as an “energetic and raw” proclamation of her return.
Dobson says the new single sets the stage for a full-length album she’s expects to release late this year.
