As if to remind us that radio pop isn't just for kids, Colleen "Vitamin C" Fitzpatrick turns up the grown-up sassiness on her second album. Its percolating opening cut, "The Itch," celebrates not just carnal urges, but also the other pleasures of serial monogamy--such as moving on. Similarly, "I Can't Say No" and "Dangerous Girl" speak up for giving way to sensation. Well-made like its predecessor, More shows Fitzpatrick moving closer to pop perfection without quite reaching it. (A cutesy cover of the Waitresses' postpunk classic "I Know What Boys Like" is the only full-fledged loser among these dozen cuts.) Smart production and conception--"That Was Then, This Is Now" borrows the acoustic-guitar gloss of Madonna's Music, while "As Long As You're Loving Me" ends the disc on a genuinely sweet (not saccharine) note--make More a winning answer to current formulas.
