01 Lady Sovereign is the Wembley teenager who is now flying the British flag in the US and whose commitment to protecting the ‘hoodie’ top from moralising old fogies is earning her the respect of her generation.
02 Her next single is The Basement Jaxx produced track ‘Hoodie’ (Out November 21st), with the Mizz Beats remix of this song currently proving to be the hottest track at UK pirate radio.
03 Sovereign now performs with a full live band and over the last 12 months she’s been on tour with BASEMENT JAXX, GO! TEAM, D12 & THE STREETS. By the end of 2005 she will have played over 100 dates. Her UK tour starts on the 31st October at London’s ICA.
04 The interest from the US for Sovereign is virtually unheard of for a British artist: JAY Z, USHER and LA Reid have each already flown Lady Sovereign out to meet with them.
05 She’s also notched up more trans-atlantic air miles this year when she featured alongside both PUBLIC ENEMY & RUN-DMC at major US events. She begins her own US major city tour on 28th November in Boston.
06 Her underground anthem ‘Random’ is the opening title track to Usher’s new movie ‘In The Mix’ coming out in December 2005.
07 She’s already featured on the cover of FADER magazine and will be on the December covers of key tastemaking press JANE, URB & VENUS, alongside major scheduled features in VIBE, ROLLING STONE, BILLBOARD, XXL and BLENDER.
08 She’s already recorded a track with Ad Rock from the BEASTIE BOYS (‘A Little Bit Of Shhh!’) and this will feature on her debut EP release in the US in November.
09 Her debut album will be coming out in March 2006 on Island Records in the UK and on Island Def Jam in the US in April 2006.
10 Sovereign has written every track on the album with production duties being handled by the heavyweight teams behind MISSY ELLIOT and JAY-Z (Soul Digga’s and Young Guru) plus the UKs finest; BASEMENT JAXX.
