Patti Rothberg – Overnight Sensation

The always awesome Patti Rothberg has a new album out called Overnight Sensation. Now, if you’ve paid attention here, you’ll know that I’m an uber-Patti fan, so while I knew that she had something coming out eventually, I didn’t realize that the moment had arrived!  Patti will celebrate the release of the album with a CD release “pajama party” tomorrow night in the NYC area (attendees are invited to “dress to impress with your finest pajamas”), but for those of you outside of that zone, the album is available right now on CD and MP3 download from CDBaby.

There’s a good reason that I’m not listening to the album as I write this – getting back to what we just talked about, there are certain artists that I still want to own the actual album and Patti is one of those artists.  So I guess I’ll be patient and wait for the actual CD to show up in my mailbox.

You can always count on Patti to change things up and indeed from listening to the song samples, the first half of the album sounds like a Madonna-worthy dance party, which initially made me think that Rothberg had made a really big shift in direction. But surprise, vinyl fans, it seems that Patti assembled this project with a vision of album sides and when you make it to the flip side midway through the record, things seem to shift in a direction that Rothberg fans will be more familiar with.  You can stream “Make It Real” from the new album at Patti’s website and hear song samples of all of the tracks via the CDBaby site.

I can’t wait to hear the whole thing!

According to Patti, the CD can be described in brief as:

We meet at the disco, fall in love, break up, have make up sex..fall into sweet dreams; dancetastic melodic multigenre lyrical..your new favorite CD!

And then there’s the official bio jibber jabber…..
Seemingly overnight, Patti Rothberg (multigenre vocalist, songwriter, and musician) and Dave Greenberg (songwriter, musician, and producer extraordinaire) achieved the kind of worldwide success one could only dream of. Their critically acclaimed EMI Records debut release Between the 1 and the 9 was an instant hit and remains a timeless classic. It was Greenberg’s melodic pop sensibility and record production, and Rothberg’s edgy rock ‘n roll lyrics and songwriting that were the backbone of this magical recording (which sold over 450,000 copies worldwide). In support of the album, Patti performed a multi-city tour of the U.S. and Europe, had a top 25 Billboard radio hit Inside, produced two MTV music videos in the U.S. and Canada, played on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Late Show with David Letterman, and shared stages with Chris Isaak, The Wallflowers, Pat Benatar, No Doubt, Paul Westerberg, Midnight Oil, and more!

Dave and Patti have reunited yet again to record magic on this 2011 grassroots independent release Overnight Sensation. Patti has poured her melodic and lyrical spin over Dave’s pop / dance tracks creating something distinctively unique. During the process, Patti brought some of her new rock songs to the table for Dave to produce. The process was so natural, as if no time had passed. They even called in Adrian Harpham (the drummer on Between the 1 & 9) to recreate some of the original chemistry. The result is better than ever. Vocally, Patti channels Terri Nunn (Berlin), Rihanna, Stevie Nicks, Olivia Newton John, Juliana Hatfield and even ’70s disco era Mick Jagger. In addition, Pretenders, The Beatles, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Velvet Underground are all given a wink and a nod. True to the team’s respective roots, Dave and Patti’s flavors have created a new sensational signature sound. It’s mastered by the legendary Herb Powers Jr., (who has mastered Mariah Carey, Lauren Hill, Justin Timberlake, and Alicia Keys to name a few).

Whatever your musical passion, Overnight Sensation dares to show how even in shuffle mode, these songs hold their own. The first 5 tracks can be blasted loud in the club (or on your iPod), while the second half tells scintillating stories against irresistible hooks which are reminiscent of the undeniably infectious melodies and raw and intelligent lyrics that put Patti on the charts. Look out for club remixes due this spring.
