MX!N?k#KhP *h5L1Eq 专辑介绍:
Y37qjV u!It';j Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
|KPNl\%ID astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
/=#~8 full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
Edcv>}PfE of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
d:]ZFk_* it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
UIIsgNca `@6y Wb:X Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
W_/$H_04+ only in the last 12 months that things have really
ao(Lv+
taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
Yyw3+3 Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
nS.qK/.s Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
hS%oQ)zvE NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
.K#'
Fec they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
2*n~r
exciting artists in America right now'.
RR/?"d?& 4Uwcc):f It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
7fT_]H8 that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
L1@<7?@X that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
?g*.7Wc it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
wIF'|" gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
%(\et%[] philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
(v}l#M7w night''.
=gd~rk9 (CYQ>)a Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
gKWUHlQY girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
=|^R<#%/ Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
CzDg?w b with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
nx{X^oc8e attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
vr
kj4Jf Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
(ze9-!% multiply it by ten.
[8WG e>
uq/|.! These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
BGu<1$G ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
f{(D+7e} Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
1u
}2}c| this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500
f/,8sGkX; AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
~sWXd~\ Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
IFF1wfC
b'`C<Rk They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
S\k(0Sv9D the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
_.W;hf` cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
#%z@yg Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
=C^4nP- equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
2ryg3%+O breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
QbWeQ[V{ Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
2jP(D%n powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
mMK 93Ng"& challenging listen which will more than reward
~Hb0)M@y7 those brave enough to try it.
