Familiarity: Zero
Track 1(Love) Okay, I'd call the opening of this one a sort of low-key trance, the rap when it comes in is quiet and rather restrained and does not seem angry, unlike so much of the hip-hop I've heard up to now. Also, she can sing and has a lovely voice. And I mean lovely, like angelic. If this is to be a mix of rapping and singing I think I may enjoy this. Spacey keyboards really add to the atmosphere but it's Kitty's low, sultry voice that makes it. If anything she kind of puts me in mind of Kylie, if the sexy little Antipodean rapped.
Track 2(Love) A gentle, almost ambient beginning with what can only be described as a soft rap, no aggression or violence in it, none that I can hear anyway. And yes, she sings on this one too. Lovely.
Track 3(Love) This one is more uptempo but still really nice, and I don't think there's even a rap in it?
Track 4(Love) This just keeps getting better.
Track 5(Love) Even the harder trance elements of this can't ruin it for me.
End result: When Goofle suggested this and I saw it was hip-hop, my heart sank. I moved it up the pecking order, swapping it out for his original choice (which was, ironically, a change from the previous one) because he was anxious to hear what I thought of it. Well, despite my misgivings I'm very impressed. Different, and in a good way.
So, Love or Hate? It's
Love, for sure.
