Yeah I love the socafication - it's obvious on 'Bongo Jam' (which at first I was a bit "lolz, novelty, now back to my babydivas" about, but I've grown to love it properly now) but runs through a lot of the others as well. Apparently (obv I have not read his actual article) S1mon R3ynolds dislikes funky because it's too much like soca which is...about as stupid as I expect from him.
It's a strange characteristic that a lot of funky and bassline vocalists sound so melancholy (esp as 'Do You Mind' isn't an especially sad song) - it's interesting that the dominant mode of expression for UK babydivas is emo-ish meditations on love & loss, hardly any braggadocio at all.
I think I love the wonderfully tactile bass on 'In The Air' most - NEED to hear it in proper quality! And pleased to see that my favourite r&g singer Katie Pearl continues to find gainful employment. Perempay & Dee also have a tune imminent called 'Time To Let Go' which is immense - Melissa says it's been tearing up Ayia Napa this summer.
