Is she really American?

She sounds British at times in this song..

I get what you mean, I was convinced she was British when I first heard the song.

When I watch her I can't help but be reminded by X Factor USA's Simone Battle.

Why does she remind me of that Ebony Bones girl from a few years back? Not convinced as yet, the song isn't bad and it feels really 90s when you watch the video.

It's good, but is it the follow up to 212? If it is, I'm disappointed..

Belgian DJ group Lazy Jay is now credited on this as well, as it samples their song. This just entered the Belgian charts as well! :lol:

Shes very interesting. I think 212 is such a great song. She delivers weird verses and has a modern and kind of pop music appeal (the electronic stuff.)

Lots of rumours that she has been signed by Kanye West. Fueled by the fact he follows her (and only follows 4 people)

Annie Mac played it this morning and it sounded ridiculous with so much censoring, every other word was muted! :lol:

I wanted her to win Sound Of 2012 seeing as Lana Del Rey has been ignored.
