Everybody knows that music is all about borrowing, and in her new video, "So Human," Lady Sovereign shows you how to do it perfectly. First of all, she borrows the magazine layout theme from The-Dream and Kanye West, flashing between different animated cover shots of herself in a frenetic collage of color and attitude. Secondly, the song itself is an adaptation of The Cure's classic, "Close To Me." It's a perfect fit for the sassy Brit, who dominates the girl-rap game in crimped hair and neon clothes.
Lily Allen, be warned. Your British sass trophy isn't as safe as you may think (especially after human headline-generator Perez Hilton bad-mouthed Lady Sov at SXSW). This smirky-mouthed little spitter is ready and willing to give you a big run for your money with this brand-new, pop-inspired confection. Watch the video for Lady Sov's "So Human," right here!
