Often compared to M.I.A., worked with Mark Ronson and she mixes almost every pop-style on her new album. From alternative to dancehall, pop to ska, this album has it all!
Has anyone picked up this album?



Pop at its purest, and clever!

Posted about this one a few weeks ago. I LOVE several songs on the album (Creator, I'm a Lady, Lights Out), but overall I feel like she's trying to hard to nail every genre, and ends up too all over the map. I'm not a big fan of the overpolished punk-ska stuff.

I've seen her mentioned here and there in magazine articles and I also like different music, give me that extra push need to buy her CD. The cover art is ugly but I won't hold that against her if the music is tight.

I've pretty much made my mind up that I'm going to buy it, its not like I have to stare at the CD cover while I listen to it. Let me pay some bills first and see what I have left over.

This is my feeling about it too. I like it a lot, but the genre-jumping gets a little bit schizo for me.
