Dynamite goes 'a little deeper'

Normally I'm not one for pulling a lick on a friend to hear an album I review, but this is an exception. Ms. Dynamite is a British singer (which is increasingly in vouge these days) who, to the uninformed, musically-stymied layman may resemble a cockney Pink. She does things with her with music in her sleep that Pink couldn't pull off under the influence of performance-enhancing drugs. While Ms. Dynamite's "Brother" sounds suspiciously similar to Pink's "Family Portrait," the similarities end there. To the hip-hop purist the standout tracks are "Dy-na-mi-tee" and "Danger." If you just want to sit back and listen to a tight groove, maybe "Anyway u Want It" is your speed. No album by a female these days would be complete without a man-bashing anthem, and it seems playas have been doing the fine Ms. Dynamite wrong lately because she goes on tirades that would have made Kelis blush, with "Sick 'n' Tired" and "Put Him Out." It takes an excellent album for me to give this type of music a good review but I gotta give credit where credit is due. So go out and make this Brit rich.
