Mz Bratt appears to have realised the old style wasn't working, so adopted a faux-Yardie style (Jamaican accent). When all else fails, record over a banging beat and spit Yardie? Beat knocks! Kinda reminds me of Donaeo's 'Riot Music', think it's the bass pattern. But anyway, Bratt sounds a bit of an amalgamation of MIA, Lady Dynamite (Miss Dynamite was the singer she turned into), and Stush. Maybe it's all a bit too easy for me to compare her with most of the other popular females who used the accent, but hey, it's true. Not only that, but I noticed a couple of inconsistencies with the patois. You may remember an earlier blog post - when I say earlier, I mean last year - where I broke down the eating vegetable song 'Are You Gonna Yam'... yes YAM *shakes head*. Jamaican's do not pronounce 'selecta' ' si -lec-ta', it's more 'SA-leck-ta', nor do they say "Reload fi dat". That doesn't actually make sense. ...

Selah featuring Sadie Ama & Mz Bratt - Woman's World (produced by Davinche) When I first heard this song I sung "All I wanna know, when's the video!" (melody of Funky Dee's 'R U Gonna Bang'). I don't really feel it that much, maybe 'cos I can't relate? Or 'cos it isn't a Woman's World? (#noChauvo). What does Sadie mean by "Base me"? Oh, and don't be fooled by the title, I actually feel Bratt and Selah. I remember Selah's tune 'Lose Control' from about 2005. If you can find it, acquire it. That reminds me Sometimes by Baby Blue was a big tune too (Selah sung on the hook). I like Bratt's personality on Twitter. She have a nice vibe; seems like a nice, cool chick you could jam with. Check my interview with Dee (aka Davinche), Perempay and Sadie's sister, Shola. Hopefully in the not too distant future I will be able to show my support and appreciation of these fly, young, females doing a lot with an...

After 3 heavier, slightly political posts than usual I thought I'd lighten the mood. Song name is irrelevant really because Ny, Bratt, Sadie and Tulisa all make me say "She's on fire" a la NBA Jam (they said it about men though). This song 'I Like You' is far better than 'Who Do You Think You Are?' Haven't heard any other songs by Bratt but for the talent on display alone (not talking lyrical right now) she deserves heavy rotation on every video channel. Don't worry about the charts and radio baby, get your pluggers on to ALL the video stations, even that early morning E4 ting. Jeezum!!! Out on 23rd November Sadie baby (see I got the nickname for you already) let me take you out for a few pints down my local. Don't tell Tulisa, Ny or Bratt I said that though Tulisa far from Medusa (see I got the nickname for you already) let me take you out for a few pints down my local. Don't tell Saide, Ny or Bratt I said that though Mz "baby (ma...
