  • Lady Sovereign Public Warning Album Download Lady Sovereign Returns with New Album, Free Download
    lady sovereign public warning album download Lady Sovereign Returns With New Album, Free Download. Cheeky UK MC Lady Sovereign is gearing up to unload her sophomore effort next year and doing it on her brand new imprint, Midget Records. The follow-up to 2006's Public Warning is being titled Jigsaw and has the due date of April 7 on Sov's freshly launched label, which is an EMI affiliate. Alongside Lady Sovereign, the record features guest appearances by Spank Rock collaborator Benny Blanco, Medasyn and Dr. Luke, who produced the Public Warning single "Love Me or Hate Me." "The album is the next chapter. It's a massive leap forward for mankind," she says of record number two in a statement. And while an April release date may be a while off, Lady Sovereign is currently offering up "an early Christmas gift," the new album track "I Got You Dancing," on her MySpace page, which you can download here. There's no word of any tour dates just yet or a Jigsaw tracklisting but those are likely just around the corner. Public Warning! Roughly two-and-a-half-years after first making a big internet splash, the now Def Jam-signed, TRL-conquering Brit MC unleashes her debut album. Between the time fast-talking London MC Lady Sovereign first hit the blogosphere about two-and-a-half years ago and today, she's endured roughly 14 internet life cycles. How long has it really been? Let's put it this way: When Sov originally quoted J-Kwon's 2004 smash "Tipsy" on the opening line of her single "Random", lots of people knew exactly what J-Kwon looked like and thought he was going to be the next Nelly.
