Lady Sovereign pulling a M.I.A stunt?

Lady Sovereign's recent single shows a remarkable change in her usual releases. The first time I heard "I got you dancing" I didn't recognize her at all. In fact I was very surprised when I learned that it was Lady Sovereign. "I got you dancing" is a really cool sound, but it sounds to me like a try to get in the same league as M.I.A and Santogold. So "I got you dancing" - sad mistake at being a M.I.A copycat or clever move into coolqueenbeat realm? You be the judge:

Lady Sovereign: I got you dancing:



M.I.A : Pull up the People:

Miike Snow

This weekend a friend of mine drew my attention to Swedish band Miike Snow. Already getting airplay with their soon-to-be smashhit "Animal", Miike Snow has the similar sound of a soft Hot Chip. For me it was love at first listen, especially the song: "Song of no one". Listen to it here

Miike Snow consist of Andrew Wyatt and the guys behind producing team Bloodshy & Avant who has produced smashhits like Britney Spears' "Piece of me" and "Toxic" and songs from Madonnas "Confessions on a dancefloor".
