I"M A FUNKING LITTLE MONKEY
Yet another Lady Sovereign post. People must think I'm obsessed, but I'm not. Let it be said right here that Lady Sov.'s debut Public Warning, being released in North America by Universal on October 31, 2006 is the new hot shit. People have complained that much of the album has been available in the form of singles and eps, but many of the tracks have been re-recorded for her debut. There is a killer new version of "Gatheration", with a new slowed down beat, and wicked guitars. The beats are harder, the grime vocals are harsher and the tunes are more punk rock than anything else I've heard in the last year.

If Lily Allen is the new Streets, Sov. is the new M.I.A.. I really think Public Warning is going to break Sov. in North America, she has the talent, wit and skill to go big.

According to Pitchfork, she's already on her way. Yesterday on MTV TRL, her video for "Love Me Or Hate Me" was the #1 video requested for the day. Read about it here.
