Eve is the debut album from British singer and songwriter Romo. The album was released July 21, 2008 and contains the #1 singles "Face For Rehab" and "Fleeing The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony". The album debuted at #1 on the last week of July 2008 and remained on top for four weeks.
Displaying Romo's philosophical means of storytelling, the album is stylistically different than Romo's future electropop endeavors.
Background[edit | edit source]
Romo named the album Eve after the Biblical figure from the book of Genesis, explaining "Eve was the first woman, and Eve was also the first sinner. I felt 'Eve' best sums up in one word how we got to where we are in the songs on the record." The album's songs contain philosophical and psychological aspects of "the female gender and their complicated feelings". The cover art depicts Romo as Eve.
The majority of the album's songs deal with the influence of pop culture on females, which is portrayed in a negative light as Romo tries to convey the message that today's young females are under too much pressure to fit in with the crowds. The first single "Face For Rehab" protests hard partying celebrities for influencing teen girls to emulate their actions and get drunk, do drugs, and have sex. "Too Young For The Tabloids", inspired by Miley Cyrus and Jamie Lynn Spears, shows that today's youths are growing up too fast.
While Romo takes on a serious tone most of the album, she shows a dry sense of humor on "Joking At Your Funeral" and "Camilla Holmes". She also experiments with poetic tone and structure on the second single "Fleeing The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony" and wrote "Ignoring A Friend" in the form of a series of letters.
Coincidentally, Eve was released on the same day as Alesha and Ryan Dawson's single "Original Sin".
Chart performance[edit | edit source]
Eve debuted and peaked at #1 on July 27, 2008 with sales of 70,505 copies. The album managed to spend a total of four consecutive weeks at #1. It sold a total of 617,008 copies in its chart run and was certified 2x platinum; though only two singles were released from the album, it managed to hold on well in the charts leading up to the release of Romo's second album, POPSTAR: The Life & Times Of Belle Ball.
