c9TAV,/fF* $v<hW
A]> Ready your ears, if you can, for the mind-blowing,
Usf"K*A astounding, sonic boom that is Yo Majesty's first
fyq]M_5 full release. This Florida duo takes the attitude
cvV?V\1f of Kelis, mixes it with M.I.A. and Missy and takes
uM)9b*Vbo it to the limit?before pushing right through it.
[G[{l$E it a^\- }4yR Though they've been making music since 2000, it's
<fsn2[V:B% only in the last 12 months that things have really
EXW
6yXLV taken off for Yo Majesty. Since signing to Domino
(zJ$oRq Records, performances at SXSW07 and supporting The
#D LT-G0 Gossip and CSS have led to complete media hysteria.
v8[ek@ NME put them in their 'top 11 bands of 2008' and
e|5B1
rMM they also featured in a list of 'the 25 most
fo\J \ exciting artists in America right now'.
/zG-\e U 'x,GI\;? It's fair to say this is not going to be a release
lmtQr5U that sinks without trace. But if anyone can handle
N<Z)b!o%u that wave of frenzy and the accompanying pressure,
b!5tFX;J it's Shunda K and Jwl B. Rapper Shunda first met
E0)mI)RW. gospel singer Jwl in a club 杢heir fitting
C*y6~AYN# philosophy is ''church in the morning, club at
o(X90X
night''.
v`+n`DT F{*9[jY Don't be fooled by their gender: there is nothing
%<J(lC9,C girly about this Basement Jaxx co-produced album.
`YmI' Opener F***ed Up is pure expletive-ridden vitriol,
5lHN8k=mm2 with lyrics screaming, ''hit me I want some
!/Bw,y ri< attention'' juxtaposed with soppy ''I love you''s.
K!-
&Zv Take the rage in Kelis' Caught Out There and
=O3I[ multiply it by ten.
U8QR*"GmT
8A8xY446) These are punchy, lyric driven tracks on the whole
AYPf)K;% ?though there are some great melodies like Buy
@[>+Dzn[6 Love and Don抰 Let Go. The album title is fitting -
HDSA]{:sl this could be the soundtrack for a film set in 2500
$-fj rQ AD where women rule. The oozy bassline on Never Be
}OP%p/eY Afraid certainly feels out of this world.
fJn3"D' 4-d99|mv They may look like they抎 be more at home outside
g3|Y$/J7P the school gates, but don抰 judge a book by its
APQQ:'>N4~ cover. They've been compared to Public Enemy and
U8WHE=Kk\h Outkast and credited with ''coining a female
ndKvJH 4 equivalent of macho'' but Yo Majesty are making and
*<.WL"Qhl breaking their own boundaries - like a new improved
R(/[NvUb Salt n Pepa for the Noughties. This brilliant,
Jp.3KA> powerful hip hop never hits safe territory; it's a
9-a2L JI challenging listen which will more than reward
3vRLg b those brave enough to try it.
