The Ravonettes
Pretty In Black (Columbia)
by Scott Hefflon
There’s a sweet, dippy, updated cover of “My Boyfriend’s Back” here. Unlike all the rest of this band’s songs, which are sweet, dippy tributes passed off as originals. Anyone who liked Debbie Boone or Donnie & Marie will like this. It’s so sweet and mom-friendly, it’s creepy. Like an alien plot to make us all dumb. Oh, too late…
