Lady Sovereign

posted by Travis

I’m not posting the full track because Lady Sov actually wants you guys to go out and buy this one. But. Here’s a sample of Lady Sovereign’s next single “Public Warning” off of her debut album of the same working title.

Listen: Lady Sovereign – "Public Warning" (clip) (mp3)

Pitchfork reports that she signed to Jay-Z’s Def Jam records. Surprise, surprise.

S.O.V. kicked off her North American tour the night before last in Boston. Tonight she hits NYC with surprise guests – all I’m saying is if she’s up there with Jay-Z then I hope somebody will be taking photos.

    you missed an amazing show!

    i forgot to take my camera…….

    What's the reaction to her over in the USA? Because in the UK I think she's seen as a bit of a joke. I don't really like any of her stuff (even the Jaxx produced stuff and I'm a HUGE Jaxx fan) and can't understand how the hell she's got signed to Def-Jam!!!

    In the UK it was hardly like she was anything, sadly. I became a fan before "9 To 5" came out, but I'm not really sure how. I just remember one night I heard the A. Brucker and Sinden remix of "Random" and I was hooked. I never saw any videos of hers on TV until "Hoodie" came out, but even then, I only saw it couple times. Pretty much the only reason I hear anything newswise about her is because I'm a big fan and have to search for it. So yeah, the promotion pretty much sucks. But at least in the UK, she's getting buzz. Which is something, at least.

    rub it in!

    i think people were pretty excited for her – but 9-5 and hoodie haven't been exactly well received (for good reason). the fader cover and running around with jay z has given her some cred though.

    she's going to need some careful marketing here or she's going to end up like a spice girl or vanilla ice.

    Because I'm a fan of Basement Jaxx I've ended up seeing her perform live twice! But I did see a piece about her on T4 the other week, but it was mainly about the Save the Hoodie campaign and they only played about 30 seconds of the video!

    She was AMAZING last night – well recieved, completely rocked the entire house. Played an encore (Public Warning)

    Everyone I've talked to about her seems to love her (here in NYC)… I think because we had Eminem before her, people kind of understand her humor in her lyrics and don't take her too seriously.

    I'm not sure who was in the house, but I was in the VIP balcony and I saw a few people slink into the backstage area.

    No one performed with her though – just her opening act, and then her, frampster, and their musicians.

    She's getting a lot of press in the US right now – or atleast in NYC. She's being pretty well recieved here.

    It seemed as though the Boston show was packed with kids who were ripped from Fader ads.

    Sorry, Travis, hope your car is better.

    The Citypaper trumps the Weekly.

    On occasion I miss Philly.

  • nicole

    I agree completely. Here's what happened at her show last night. I'm glad I never went!

    san francisco will soon experience the SOV. once at Amoeba for a free in-store, and then the next day, or maybe the day before, at some rave with princess stuporstar. in-store it is! although they are usually, awkward, it seems like she is weird enough to be good during the day on a stage in a record store. maybe? i'll report back!

  • Tara Copeman

    I agree :)

  • jasmine

    that's a bit of a stupid comment

  • jasmine

    hey, i dont no who im writin' to but i hope it be lady sov, anyway, i tink lady sov is very talented, i just got her cd yesterday but im not too patient wit female singers; im not sexist but dey sing bout things i dont wanna listen to but lady sov is totally diff, i can hinestly say lady sov is better than missy elliot, mary j blige and rah digga.

  • Holly

    Lady Sov definately sucks. She is also ugly as sin and needs to be wearing pink and carrying around little puppies in her handbag. Nobody wants to see a freakin infant little white girl rap. She makes herself look disgusting with her ugly, not well kept teeth and grungy reap guy aqppearance. Hey SOV!!!… you are not black!!!

  • lady sov addict

    I LOVE LADY SOVERIEGN TO DDDDDDDEEEAAAATTTTHHH!! she is my all time FAVVV artist EVER!!!!! (ps hoodie is the best song on "public warning" i LOVE it))

  • lady sov addict

    ps holly, i think U definitly suck!!!! lady sovereign can kick ur ass ANY DAY!!! i bet she's a better rapper than u can ever be, just ask JAY-Z CUZ HE SIGNED HER!!!! haha

  • keesha

    holly i dont know you but i allready hate you. i hate prepy peeps who carry around puppies and where pink all the time. i have never even seen you and i know you are uglyer than sin! SOV rocks! i donk care who you are! if you hate her soooo much than why are you on this web page?!

  • Lucho

    The only thing that Holly said that was wrong is that she needs to "wear pink and carry puppies"… Lady Sov DOES suck. point blank. Jay-Z is just trying to cash in on her because she's ANOTHER white person trying to act "urban black". It's PATHETIC! I honestly hope she takes her ass back to the UK and never comes back.

  • srlklr

    Since she constantly gets called the female Eminem, I was just wondering if anybody out there would actually consider her to be better than Em?

  • jan from belgium

    che can blow me anytime :d

  • mia

    get a life. Rappers like these bring down the music industry and, worse, influence too many young minds in the wrong way. Why can't she sing anything meaningful? Her approach to society on any issues is terrible.

  • tmer

    i cant till eminem and paul rosenberg sign true blood a proper u artist he will shut up lady sov fo gud. Why da fuck jayz messing wit chavs????????????????
