In her early years in the public eye, after she had moved from Atlanta to Nashville and launched her career with a self-titled debut album in 1997, Plumb occupied a distinctive niche: an artist whose passions communicated powerfully whether set to pulsing electronic beats, guitar-driven alternative rock or sweeping orchestral accompaniment. Her music has been featured in numerous movie soundtracks such as “Brokedown Palace,” “Bruce Almighty,” “Just Married,” “Drive Me Crazy” and many other high-profile films, or on TV shows ranging from “Dawson’s Creek,” “Felicity,” “Roswell” and “ER” to commercials, made for TV films or on top of the Billboard dance charts with “In My Arms” in 2007. Whether drawn by her sound or her sometimes enigmatic image, those who have discovered Plumb tend to develop a deeper identity over time. She sang from the heart about subjects as sensitive as sexual abuse (“Damaged”) and self-injury (“Cut”) – subjects seldom visited beyond the pages of private journals, transformed through music into expressions of love and promises of hope.

For fans of the CW show “Vampire Diaries,” they will recognize the song “Cut” which was played during the pivotal story-line changing scene where the characters of Stefan and Elena declare their love for one another and finally become intimate, a moment which had fans hanging on by the edge of their seats. You can watch the video and listen to the song above.
