Overnite sensation is a celebration of the reunion of Producer Dave Greenberg and Patti Rothberg! This winning combination of Dave’s melodic dance pop sensibility and Patti’s lyrical gritty rock and roll brought her first album, Between The One and The Nine, International attention and accolades in the mid nineties. Leno, Letterman, Oprah all helped spread the fire. In 1998 EMI America closed its doors and Patti entered the enormous sea of indie rock. Hooking up with producer Freddie Katz in 1998 began a journey which produced two albums, Candelabra Cadabra and Double Standards. All the while, Dave and Patti kept in contact and would record songs true to their respective spectrums- Ultra catchy dance pop and songwriter rock n roll of varying instrumentation and tempos.
Fast forward to 2008. Freddie and Patti went separate ways, and she had a wealth of new material for a new album! Dave and Patti took inventory of what they’d been recording all along, INCLUDING the synthy dance tracks which grace the beginning of Overnite Sensation. These tracks were originally written and intended for Kylie Minogue or Brittney, but Dave and Patti looked at each other liking Patti’s voice already on there and said.. “Why not!!!?” Thus Overnite was born. 14 years is a long time for an “overnight sensation” (and the first album really WAS an Overnite Sensation) so the title is rather tongue and cheek, but is also a reference to the uber pop beginning of the CD which glides into “side two”, a harkening back to Between the One and the Nine days which has songs nice to fall asleep to after a good dance workout.
