Pics Colleen Fitzpatrick She says Vitamin C is like a character and an extension of her more extreme personality traits, and says the real life Colleen is shyer than Vitamin C. She says making the first album was an “evolving process”, where she would travel around and write with different people. She recorded her solo debut Vitamin C in Tennessee and LA, working mainly with producer Josh Deutsch. She also worked with Michael Kotch! They co-wrote Not That Kind Of Girl, and Michael is credited on some other songs. In 1999, Colleen began promoting the Vitamin C project. Already one of her tracks, Graduation, was been played on the radio when the album wasn’t even finished! The first single released was Smile, she describes it as a “grin-and-bear it” kind of song, but it was seen mainly as an optimistic happy track. Smile reached no.16 on the America’s Billboard top 100! Then the album was released and after a while reached no.29, and later was certified platinum. Then she released Me, Myself and I, which contains a sample of a Santana guitar rift. Me, Myself and I peaked at no.23. An ad for Hershey Chocolate had Smile playing in it. Eve’s Plum fans screamed “sell out!”. It was great for Colleen, and gave her a lot of exposure. NBC started using Smile for all their ads to advertise the start of their new season. A series called Cold Feet used it as their theme song! ENTER HERE
