Horrorscope is Eve 6's second studio album, recorded at NRG Recording Services in North Hollywood, California. The album was influenced by Lit's A Place in the Sun (1999).[3] It was released in 2000 through RCA Records. The neologism "Horrorscope" is not actually used within the album's lyrics; though the chorus of "Sunset Strip Bitch" contains the proper word "horoscope."
