In Praise of Speech Debelle
Posted by: girlfriend in a coma on 20 September 2009
I enjoy keeping my ears & mind open to new music.
I've found The Mercury Music Prize to be a good source of 'new to me' acts.
In fact it has introduced me to music that is now some of my all time favourites.
I got a few records form this years short list,
& Speech Debelle's 'Speech Therapy' has quickly become the current disk I can't stop playing.
Musically it has many influences, including jazz & hip hop, but it sounds completely new to me.
The music & lyrics are wonderfully inventive, & I find it an incredibly positive & uplifting listen.
It's an emotional album: SB clearly writes from the heart & painful personal experience.
In summary I would describe this music as fresh & real.
If that might be to your taste I can't recommend the record enough.
There's lots of free to listen tracks on the SB website.
One day I know that it
It will get better music is healing
I love the feeling
One day all people will be all equal
Until that day comes I'll just be singing my song
from Spinnin' by Speech Debelle

Another one on the list!
My intentions were good, but I too have an ever growing list.
I empathise with your sinking feeling & apologise for being part of the problem Jeff!

No need for apology, thanks for supporting Simon's enthusiasm on another thread, but it will be a few weeks before I can indulge again.

Thanks for pointing out Simon Drake's thread Jeff.
I had missed it, so more forum shame on me!
