I saw Lady Sov play last night at The Paradise, and it was pretty redonkulous. Despite a couple brief pauses where she intimated that she felt like she was going to be sick ("If I vomit...I'm sorry") she rebounded quickly and tore the place down, rocking the crowd harder than I expected. Her new material is poppier (i.e. less rap) and she has some punk rock running in her veins, which gives some fire to her show.
I should probably just go on the record now saying that I have a huge crush on Lady Sovereign. There, glad I got that out there.
Also, Beth from Melophobe loaned me her SLR for the night, so I got to take some sweet photos of the show - kickass.
Most Random Moment Of The Night: Lady Sov kicks a banana around the stage. 'Why am I kicking a banana around?' she asks, before answering herself, 'Because I just don't like them shits'. Priceless. Ever the lady.
One of the best jams she pulled out was a hard-hitting rendition of "Random", the song that put her on the scene. I forgot how hard that song hits. She also covered Metro Station's "Shake It" and had the crowd geared up on "Pennies", a track I had previously found dull and uninteresting. She changed my mind.
I'll be writing a full review over at Melophobe this week, but in the meantime enjoy some Sov tunes, remixes young and old, as well as that Metro Station original.
