Astute Magical Buffet readers will remember that back in December I commented <\/a>on a music video by Lady Sovereign, who is a British rap artist. Apparently Perez Hilton wasn\u2019t aware that the video was actually paying homage to the movie \u201cThe Warriors\u201d, and instead declared it a video with \u201cDancing Midget Zombies\u201d. By the way, as proof (as if it was required, but still) that the ladies over at Go Fug Yourself<\/a> kick ass, they are aware of the film \u201cThe Warriors\u201d and name checked it appropriately in a post about Christina Aguilera<\/a>. Take that Perez! Where was I? That\u2019s right, Lady Sovereign. In the December post I commented that I didn\u2019t know when the album with the song \u201cI Got You Dancing\u201d from the music video would be released. Well it\u2019s out now!<\/p>\n

I know nothing about the British rap music scene, or the grime scene, which is what Wikipedia tells me, is the classification for Lady Sovereign\u2019s music. Here\u2019s what I do know. Roll down the windows, slide on the sunglasses, because Lady Sovereign\u2019s new album \u201cJigsaw\u201d is your summer jam.<\/p>\n

The single I\u2019ve been hearing off the album is \u201cSo Human\u201d that relies heavily on The Cure song \u201cClose to Me\u201d.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m only vaguely familiar with Lady Sovereign\u2019s work previous to \u201cJigsaw\u201d, so I don\u2019t know how typical or atypical this album is when compared to past efforts. It\u2019s filled with catchy songs, bizarre humor, and flip flopping between spoken word and sort of singing. Lady Sovereign\u2019s voice has a wide range so one song, like \u201cHuman\u201d will feature a light feminine voice, and another, like \u201cGuitar\u201d, will have low moans. Also, I suffer from that all too common American affliction of just adoring a British accent, so there\u2019s that too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>If you\u2019re looking for a fun album to tap your foot to while driving in the summer sun, this will do nicely.
