Paris DJs Soundsystem - Hip Hop Non Stop
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) T.I.M.E.C., 2009-09-18
Hip Hop isn't only the mainstream shit they try to feed you with. Hip Hop is vigorously alive, if you consider the huge amount of albums, singles and mixtapes released each week. In the vein of our It's The New Hip Hop Thing compilation issued on CD thru the Vibrations label last February, here's another snapshot on today's cool and groovy Hip Hop, with the unique Paris DJs perspective.

Speech Debelle - Spinnin'
(Download) Big Dada BDDNL152, 2009-09-14
The Mercury-nominated Speech Debelle returns with Spinnin', the purest pop moment from her widely acclaimed debut album, Speech Therapy. Produced by Tunng mainman Mike Lindsay, Spinnin' is a hugely catchy singalong of a tune, a feelgood route into the sometimes dark and emotional world of Ms Debelle. That's not to say the girl sacrifices any of her lyrical intelligence. Her words are packed with barbed one-liners, clever asides and great imagery. The press has been quick to proclaim her a star in the making and on Spinnin' she takes the opportunity to shine.

Speech Debelle - Better Days
(Download) Big Dada BDDNL149, 2009-08-03
Speech Debelle returns with one of the standout cuts from her hugely acclaimed debut album, Speech Therapy. Featuring a chorus from another debut artist making waves this year, Micachu, Better Days is a harder hitting, more beat-led piece of hip hop than some of her earlier releases, but loses none of their emotional charge. The single also features bonus track, Where Do We Go? - a jazzy little number over which Speech ranges lyrically from the personal to the global. With Speech Therapy already being tipped as one of the albums of the year, Better Days is a reminder just why so many people are getting so excited about this young South Londoner… BUT NO PROMO FOR US ON THIS ONE ALAS...

Speech Debelle - Speech Therapy
(CD) Big Dada BD137, 2009-06-01
There's a reason that Speech Debelle's debut album is called Speech
Therapy and that's because she speaks straight from the heart, with
complete intimacy, as if only addressing one person. As if she expects
the record never to be heard.

Speech Debelle - Go Then, Bye
(Download) Big Dada BDDNL141, 2009-05-25
The third single from Speech Debelle's forthcoming debut album, "Speech Therapy", is the remarkable "Go Then, Bye". Occupying the classic genre of "break up" songs so confidently and fully it's almost like she invented it, Speech tells the story of the end of a relationship - the hurt, loneliness and anger - but without losing her sly grasp of detail and humour. Production here is provided by sometime bandmate and longtime friend Dread Keys who cooks up some slowburn soul and Motown strings round which Speech can do her diva thing - hurt and strong - in her own matter-of-fact South London way. One of the most honest, funny and heartfelt love songs you'll ever hear, "Go Then, Bye" is another indicator of a truly great talent.

Speech Debelle - The Key
(Digital) Big Dada BDDNL143, 2009-03-16
Speech Debelle returns with the second single from her eagerly awaited
debut album, "Speech Therapy." "The Key" shows a slightly
different side to Speech's character. Where "Searching" seemed introspective and fragile, Speech uses "The
Key" to display a little more swagger, delivered in her unique voice, her own unique
style, both youthful and old beyond her years. Not for nothing are
people talking of this South Londoner as the most exciting new voice
coming out of UK black music in years.

About Speech Debelle :
The first thing about Speech Debelle that strikes the ear is a contrast. Her voice is warm, youthful and listenable, and if you heard her in the background you might assume that her lyrics were the same. You'd be better placed tuning into them. In common with her new label-mate Roots Manuva, she's astoundingly honest in her music, detailing and exorcising some very personal demons. That isn't to say she's another run of the mill rapper with more complaints than insights. Quite the opposite. Like all musicians worth listening to, she draws you into her universe and makes you glad you visited. There's always a thaw to the chillier moments.
'Searching' is her debut single, and a perfect example of the offbeat, folky production that will litter the forthcoming album, as well as the whisper-in-the-ear quality of her vocals. One thing is certain, hip-hop has never been done in quite this way before. 'Searching' makes you wonder why not.
