"I make records that are honest, about the high and low points in my life and experiences that I think are worth noting in a song. But I also want to tackle the difficult subjects in life, because I want people to know that the hard times, just like a piece of coal, can be turned into a diamond." So confesses singer/ songwriter Plumb, an artist whose provocative, intoxicating music blends the complex, feminine poignancy of Suzanne Vega with the sophisticated, modern Rock 'n' Roll of Garbage to create something timeless yet cutting-edge. While her voice frequently draws comparison to Amy Lee of Evanescence, Lee's own citation of Plumb as a primary vocal influence is further evidence that Plumb is an artist who innovates rather than imitates. With a catalog of her songs already covered by Platinum-selling artists, featured in popular television programs and nearly a dozen major motion pictures, Plumb has put the finishing touches on her fourth album, Chaotic Resolve (Curb Records). The result is a refreshing blend of haunting melodies, edgy lyrics, piercing imagery, sublime textures and serious pop hooks. Plumb's Chaotic Resolve marks the re-emergence of an unmistakably important voice in pop music.

In many ways, Chaotic Resolve is a career-defining album from an artist who never intended to enter the music business at all. Born in Indianapolis and raised Atlanta, Plumb (aka Tiffany Arbuckle Lee) was nineteen and saving money to attend nursing school when she took a job as a back-up vocalist for an established artist. "I had a great passion for music," she explains, "and I had sung in church and school choirs. My thought was that singing would be a great way to earn money for school, but I had no intention whatsoever of making music my career." As she padded her resume with back-up singing jobs, Lee's name began coming up in small circles around the music industry. She soon crossed over into doing studio work for various artists. "I was on tour buses and I loved every minute of it," she remembers, "but as time went by, I still wasn't in college. Suddenly, several years had passed."
