"I thought it would be a good way to meet guys," says Bree Sharp, of why she decided to pursue rock & roll. She adds, with a smile, "To get some action." After asking me not to print this in any Philadelphia magazines, because she doesn't want her parents to see it, I ask her if her parents are Internet savvy. Her response: "No, we're safe. There are naked photos of me all over the Internet. They'll never know."

  Now, coupling these comments with the title of her debut album, A Cheap and Evil Girl, one can start to get some ideas about Sharp. However, sorry to burst your bubble guys, she was JOKING. The most recognizable characteristic about Sharp, as we have breakfast in a trendy West Village restaurant (a place so hip that on a Wednesday morning, we're seated next to one of the stars of "Dawson's Creek") is that she likes to have fun.

  Still in the beginning stages of "hyping" her debut, she has yet to be jaded by the same repetitive questions from journalists, meaning she still knows how to have a good time with the interview process. "I hope I don't ever take myself too seriously," she says. "I mean sometimes in print, even if you're not taking yourself too seriously, they make you sound like you are. I've heard it before. Someone read something back to me that I said, and I thought I was being sort of light, and I sounded stiff."

  That Sharp has a sense of humor probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who's been introduced to her music via the sometimes silly, damn catchy single, "David Duchovny." The song's chorus begs the question, "David Duchovny, why won't you love me?" Besides being an obviously big fan of "The X-Files," what made Sharp turn her crush into a song? Initially she says she was hesitant to do so. Her fears were two-fold. Besides being afraid she would come off as a total fan when, and if, she met him (he has heard the song and is a fan), she didn't want listeners to view her as a novelty artist.

  "I love songwriters. I'm hoping that's how I'll be received, as well," she says. "This just happens to be the way in; it's timely and it's easily acceptable. And it's a fun song, and I really like it. So I don't have a problem with it. But I do want to get to the second single so that people will see there's more here."
