BEAT OF THE WEEK: "Lady Sovereign"

   Whether you care for Lady Sovereign or not, she still manages to captivate audiences with her cheeky attitude and her defiant behavior. Who doesn't find a cute little girl who raps with a doesn't-give-a-shit tone utterly irresistible? In her earlier album, "Public Warning", Lady Sovereign, or the "S-O-V" as she calls herself, broke out with such popular songs like "Love Me Or Hate Me" and "Tango". 

   Now with her newest album, "Jigsaw" she has adapted a new style that flirts with hip-hop, dance, and rap. "Bang Bang" is definitely reminiscent of former Lady Sovereign, but "So Human" really opens up a whole new chapter as to what Lady Sovereign is capable of doing, which is toning down her crazy chick exterior (she even got rid of her famous sideways ponytail) to create a more versatile tone that welcomes lovers of pop and rap, and everything in between.

My personal favorites:

"Love Me Or Hate Me"

"Tango"

"Bang Bang"

"I Got You Dancing"
