The New Kid needs to hear some New Music

[Breine]

Lady Sovereign

Wow, Im surprised someone from the US has heard of Sovereign, she must be pretty big. I remember when she just broke into the underground music scene in London and she was sort of a joke. She got boo'ed when I went to go see her live once, the shame.

She got signed to Def Jam, so yeah.

She's been featured pretty heavily in mobile phone commercials lately. I'd heard of her before that somewhere and was interested. I can imagine her getting booed by a crowd of chavs that actually take the culture seriously - part of what I love about her music is the fact that she's having fun and being self-deprecating in talking about all this stuff rather than trying to come off as being hard.

Yup. She has also been number one on the TRL chart. As far as I remember she was the first English artist to ever do so... so, that's pretty impressive.


Anyway, listen to some M.I.A. ... she's somewhat similar to Lady Sovereign when it comes to their sound - she's just better in my opinion
