hazim and the new asymptotes
hey. hazim here...again. Lady Sovereign couldn't have had a slower climb to moderate success, taking 2-3 years to finally push out an album full of songs that hadn't managed to live past their buzz overdue date. But noone can deny that no female rapper and a lot of male rappers have her speedball slick sick flow. She jitters and padfoots with ease and speed even if the songs aren't spectacular. These two new tracks from her upcoming second album Jigsaw display Lady Sovereign's contrasting sides of her psyche. One's an eager smart mouthed warrior who just wants you to get it on the dance floor (check out the Warriors-esque music video and Warriors-esque makeover). That would be "I Got You Dancin" with its Autotune verses and Thrillerback beats. The other side is a rapping Lily Allen, insecure, outcasted, unsure, dorky, and only too apprehensive of the screw-ups she's bound to make. That would be the The Cure sampling Ting Tings sounding bouncy "So Human". Which side do you prefer? I've already taken my pick.
Hazim. Out.
