Seen & heard her live at the AfroPunk Fest in Brooklyn. Her and the band are ridiculously skilled and talented. She turns me on in a way these half-naked half-talents never do.  Something to be said for creativity, heart and looks in an artist.

Can't wait, I'm picking up her ArchAndroid cd in a few hours!

@bigmouthmama1 You are tone deaf or have not taste. Maybe both.

[Pirate7X]

@LawJohn12 Ha you are waaayyy off.  Check her version of 'Smile' and eat your words lawjohn, unless you're tone deaf.

gurl studied her some Klaus Nomi and some Grace Jones. Throw some Black Rock Coalition in there, some P-Funk echos, Sun Ra vibrations and a hefty dose of Afrofuturism and voilà! I LOVE her performance style. It is weirdweirdweird that she is on Bad Boy. But that gets her the naitonal tour sooner rather than later I suppose...

[LawJohn12]

some what I agree with you she really cant sing skillfully but my Friend i think thatz why ppl like her like myself cause she is so uncommon

[mariusdanaila]

With so much s..t on the market right now a little creativity will not harm.On the contrary !

[bigmouthmama1]

now i am all for something different and having your own style. I like new artist who are doing it their own way and actually have the talent to back it up. I have seen this chick perform a number of times, even saw her music video. keeping it real: besides being weird and peculiar, i just dont see the actual talent. she cant even damn sing! puff daddy aint gone make money off her no-singing ass!
