Isn't she?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 May 2004 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

yep, lined up to duet with Jamie Callum at next year's Brit Awards as we type

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 20 May 2004 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

she runs rings round so many other female mcs. arf arf

i take it everyone has heard the feline mix. that is OTM. heavy shit.

single out next month and she features alongside shystie on medasyn's 'the battle'

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Thursday, 20 May 2004 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

i really was expecting this thread to take off.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Thursday, 20 May 2004 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh don't worry, Tim Finney will post to it when he wakes up.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 May 2004 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

What's the feline mix?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 20 May 2004 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

It is a mix of grimey stuff over which Lady S unleashes her ridiculous flow. Search slsk. Search nordicskilla.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 20 May 2004 20:40 (twenty-two years ago)

can we call her L.sov.?

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Thursday, 20 May 2004 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't heard any of her recorded material though Adam! But yeah all the on-air performances I've heard have been great.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Friday, 21 May 2004 03:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Nordicskilla isn't sharing...

― Jacob (Jacob), Friday, 21 May 2004 05:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i share a L.Sov folder [boomnoise!zoo]

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 08:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sure you can call her "S.O.V" as that is what she sings on the 12" promos we got sent. She is excellent, and we are hoping to arrange a gig for her soon (which will probably be a disaster up here, but what the fuck, we love her).

― ___ (___), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Am I alone in wishing that the forthcoming Lady Sovereign album had been called Haunted Weather: Resonant Spaces, Silence and Memory?

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 21 May 2004 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

hahahaah - is that a pot shot at my illfated david toop thread perhaps!

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)

unfortunately the title Hott Butt Action has already been used for Rachel Goswell's first solo outing.

― Marcello Carlin, Friday, 21 May 2004 09:34 (twenty-two years ago)

let's keep it on track. strictly S.O.V.! so what't the tracklisting for these 12''s ___?

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 09:37 (twenty-two years ago)

what can u buy by her so far? anything?

when's the single out?

― piscesboy, Friday, 21 May 2004 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

The 12" is a white label, solely stamped with her name on it. I might have the actual track name somewhere in the pack it came in - quite frankly, I didn't check. It is excellent though, and it definitely isn't "blah blah blah", which is proposed as her first single proper, I believe.

― ___ (___), Friday, 21 May 2004 11:29 (twenty-two years ago)

as i understand it the first single is going to be 'Chi Ching! (Cheque 1, 2)' released on ross allen's casual label. probably mid to late june.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 11:37 (twenty-two years ago)

May be what we have - I can only remember the main lyrical grabs of it off hand, and any one of them could be the title of the track, really.

― ___ (___), Friday, 21 May 2004 11:41 (twenty-two years ago)

any chance you could rip the 12 for us slsks is there ___? i have to ask ;)

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 12:33 (twenty-two years ago)

now there's a thought myke.

― piscesboy, Friday, 21 May 2004 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll see what I can do. Pretty sure I go by the same name there (tripleunderscore) so hunt me down.

― ___ (___), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

wow and please. please and wow.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Nordicskilla isn't sharing...

I'm not?

My slsk keeps screwing up in that respect (cue angry messages from all my buddies who think I'm not sharing), but everything should be available! :(

btw, the file I have is mispelt as :Lady Soverign" or something. Search "feline".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I can absolutely confirm that the track I have isn't on the feline mix. Cos I have that too, and a sticky compendium, and stuff. innit.

*smug*

― ___ (___), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

what's that sticky thing?

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, just about every sticky track I could find, ever. And some ridiculous size Ice Rink (about 15 mins).

I went a bit grime for a while!

― ___ (___), Friday, 21 May 2004 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

anyone else love her "left right, left right" lyric on the "Fit But..." remix?

the only thing between her and overground fame now is a certain tricky legal situation that's brewing. i do hope it doesnt scupper her inertia.

― martin (martin), Friday, 21 May 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah i love that and all the little melodic couplets on the feline mix esp the white as snow bit.

can you tell us anymore of this tricky legal situation? at least its ilk? is the world of S.O.V. really that complex?

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 15:26 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i might leave it at that for now. but take it as read that her inertia may be interrupted. shame...

― martin (martin), Friday, 21 May 2004 15:43 (twenty-two years ago)

that is ashame. (asumming you actually mean the opposite from what you have written) hopefully we won't have to start a 'Lady Sovereign Is Innocent' campaign! i'm really curious to what these problems may be but hopefully they won't make her more inert.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 16:04 (twenty-two years ago)

although my understanding of physics is limited.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 16:14 (twenty-two years ago)

21st June is the single's release date. Official.

― myke boomnoise (myke boomnoise), Friday, 21 May 2004 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Lady SOV is performing at the free Love Music Hate Racism finsbury park gig coming up on 6 June. Alongside her are some other big names in garage. Should be good. http://www.lmhr.org.uk/events/

i think i've heard rumblings abt this. are you going to be at lmhr, martin?

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 25 May 2004 10:57 (twenty-two years ago)

God yes that "left right, left right" part is insanely good, I've just replayed it about ten times.

I still like vertically challenged. but she went lightweight with a quickness.

― Edward III, Wednesday, 18 June 2008 15:56 (seventeen years ago)

seven months pass...

what's going on with her? seems to be missing from the media.

― dan138zig (Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr), Monday, 9 February 2009 11:42 (seventeen years ago)

i've been getting promo emails about her new album, along with a 12-minute teaser mix. some sounds promising. but i actually liked public warning, so don't trust me. (there's a bit on the mix that borrows from "close to you," which i don't know if it's on the album or not but is a little o_0.)

― paper plans (tipsy mothra), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

(maybe she figures that if m.i.a. can get rich off the clash, a cure sample is the fastest way to fame. soon to follow: "people are people" with dizzee rascal and dave gahan.)

― paper plans (tipsy mothra), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:28 (seventeen years ago)

there's a bit on the mix that borrows from "close to you," which i don't know if it's on the album or not but is a little o_0

heard this on 1Xtra - eeh. would probably do better business to get on a calvinharris-y electropop joint.

― O Supermanchiros (blueski), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:38 (seventeen years ago)

Her whole aesthetic is terrible and has been since, what, the first half of 2005?

― Maximo Park Ji-Sung (Matt DC), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:42 (seventeen years ago)

sounds promising. but i actually liked public warning, so don't trust me

I've heard the new album, think it's spotty, but like it anyway. It's also short -- 10 songs -- which is a good thing. (Didn't notice anything sounding like "Close To You.") But yeah, I liked Public Warning too. People who hated that one will almost definitely hate the new one even more.

― xhuxk, Monday, 9 February 2009 15:54 (seventeen years ago)

Is it more like "Public Warning" end of that album or the "My England" end?

― nosotros niggamos (HI DERE), Monday, 9 February 2009 15:55 (seventeen years ago)

uh ok i actually am liking the new album. "human" could be enormous

― k3vin k., Sunday, 22 February 2009 21:12 (seventeen years ago)

Chuck, do you mean "Close to Me"? Because one song totally is her rhyming on top of that Cure song.

― Matos W.K., Sunday, 22 February 2009 21:46 (seventeen years ago)

it would be awesome if she rhymed over "close to you"

yachtgrime!

― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 23 February 2009 05:18 (seventeen years ago)

I was answering Paper Plans' "Close to You" claim. ("Close To Me" is another question, but then I don't always have the best Curedar in the world.)

― xhuxk, Monday, 23 February 2009 06:28 (seventeen years ago)

"Close To Me" is a good idea (haven't heard the song) - worked excellently as the basis for a dancehall riddim about six years ago.

― Tim F, Monday, 23 February 2009 06:43 (seventeen years ago)

yeah sorry i meant "close to me." i'm having song-title dyslexia lately.

― paper plans (tipsy mothra), Monday, 23 February 2009 07:04 (seventeen years ago)

There's a song called "Food Play" on the new album that makes me want to throw up.

― gtfoer spurlock (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 24 February 2009 22:13 (seventeen years ago)

all i really remember is "human" which was m.i.a.-biting at its most blatant but i thought it was really good!

Maybe not fantastic, but... I'm glad she's around.

― Pete Scholtes, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 02:19 (seventeen years ago)

Me too. Wonder if my review will be the only one not to even mention "So Human" (which I thought was one of the duller tracks on the album, Cure sample or no.) Had no idea it was considered a "key cut" when I wrote that.

― xhuxk, Wednesday, 15 April 2009 02:33 (seventeen years ago)

My review doesn't mention "So Human" Chuck, though it's only 300 words so I didn't go into too many specifics. I think it's a stronger record than people are giving it credit for, though on the other hand all the people who are saying it's a massive letdown are correspondingly overrating the debut.

From Stereogum:

R.I.P. Lady Sov's Music Career • If it wasn't clear already... The Biggest Midget In The Game's appearing on Celebrity Big Brother with luminaries like Stephen Baldwin, Heidi Fleiss, cross-dressing cage fighter Alex Reid, Ronnie Wood's ex-girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova, and Sisqo. Everybody get awkward.

the "got you dancing" song of hers that they use in this bally fitness commercial (or whatever the fuck) is one of the most dreadful things i've ever heard -- never heard ch-ching so i will always remember her as pretty much useless
