Chuck together the honey drizzled lyrics of the hottest young rapper about, Janee Bennett, larger than large production from UK grime king Bless Beats (already had a # 1 with Wiley’s ‘Rolex’) and one ridiculously massive piano riff and what do you get? A summer club anthem that’s what.
Moshi Moshi records are no stranger to finding a killer single - Florence and the Machine’s “Kiss With A Fist”, Late of the Pier's "Bathroom Gurgle", Lykki Li’s “Little Bit”, and Friendly Fire's "Paris". This time they bring Manchester born, London based Janee Bannett to the fore.
Some might know her previous work already – originally discovered by Roll Deep who asked her to vocal on their single Do Me Wrong, and gaining copious nods of appreciation on the blogs - 22 year old Janee might just be the UK’s answer to a young Beyonce. All dazzling 6ft of her.
East Londoner Bless Beats is something of a beats prodigy – having acquired mass recognition from his home crowd for his insanely popular grime productions, 21 year old Bless has bigger ideas and is currently attracting musical talent of all walks to work with him on his debut album due out autumn 2009. Remi Nicole, Wiley, Tinchy Stryder, Chipmunk, Ironic, Sabrina Washington, Alesha Dixon have all passed his east London studio for sessions, but it’s Janee Bennett he’s most excited about:
“There are lots of female vocalists out there, many of which come and go, but Janee is an artist as well as a songwriter. Her presence in the studio is always felt - and you know she can take any tune and make it work. She’s very special and I love working with her"
Pop siren Janee who’s set for big things this year sings about life in the city of London:
“Being born and Bred in Manchester, on my arrival to London I soon realised that life here is very different. London is the place to be and where everything is going on but its very expensive to live. So in the song I describe having to work to make money and then needing to have some fun outside of work "Sex In The City". Sex in the city doesn't necessarily mean having "sex", it can mean anything, to unwind and have fun! We ALL need sex in the city…” Janee Bennett
Indeed. Now we simply await a ray of summer sunshine and the Sex in the City club hysteria will ensue…
