SPEECH DEBELLE DROPS THE BALL

Bonafide towers has been a bit barren of news tidbits on the digital side of things lately, this is mainly due to the fact that we are still editing, kerning and pulling hair out over the final pieces for issue 03. Think a room full of chimpanzees trying to write the works of Shakespeare and you are getting there. One thing we are indeed struggling with is sleep, however us and fellow insomniacs may be in luck as the new material Speech Debelle and Maxi Jazz throw up may well offer a cure for those who ‘can’t get no sleep’.

Joking aside, although the mantra goes all publicity is good publicity, this week has been a bit of a mare for the Mercury Prize winner. Getting booed by Take That fans must be pretty soul-destroying but seeing her spit her dummy out, throw her toys out of the pram and split from Big Dada in public, has been like rubbernecking on the motorway. Her LP is a tense and restless affair and, thinking about it, obviously a representation of her character. Can’t help thinking she’s made a wrong call on this one.
