New Lady Sovereign - "Gatheration"

While Scott's wiggle dancing with the hippies and hipsters in the Tennessee sun, I'm gonna steer the ship for a few. Let's start with some new Lady Sov, from her upcoming Island Def Jam release.

Lady Sovereign - "Gatheration" (MP3 Link Expired)

That should get your head nodding. But is it enough to supplant your love for that other '85 born Brit bird? Sov may just lose points for her nominalization. Sure, Mary J. Blige had her "holleration" and "hateration." But that was five years ago, lady! Still, we're sure to rock this at the Stereogum barbeque. Enjoy.

Why is Lady SOV popular in the US? Very average.

Is this from her sessions with Adam Horowitz?

That song is so repetative at the end--gets pretty boring. You only need to hear a chorus so many times, Lady Sov.

I am really amused by her referencing herself, though. And that she's continuing to put the "S-O-Veee" bit into all of her songs. Way to be original.

Wow, this track sucks big time. It almost sounds like a parody, or something Lindsey Lohan would do to sound edgy.

Not a burner by any means. I'm sure the neptunes tracks will have more to offer.

I've always felt like Lady Sov sounds like parody rap, actually. Maybe an SNL skit or something. Still, I like this more than those two horrendous singles she put out...and yes, it's overly repetitive.

w/e you ppl lady sovereign is fresh and new and i personally like her a lot

i'm from the US and it's different from what we have here.. it's refreshing actually so w/e to you ppl who are puttin her down for one sorta mediocre song.. she's done better yes, but she's kicked ass on her other songs and you know it
that's what counts.
