LADY SOVEREIGN releases her new single “So Human” today, February 3rd (digital) on her label Midget Records (via EMI).
The single, taken from Sov’s forthcoming album Jigsaw (due April 7th), was produced by Medasyn and featuring a remix by Sinden. Inspired by The Cure’s “Close To Me”, “So Human” reflects on Sov’s rollercoaster ride over the last two years.
Jigsaw is the follow-up to Sov’s successful debut album Public Warning released in late 2006. Over the course of that release Sov won the respect of Jay-Z and America’s urban doyenne, sold over 300,000 copies worldwide of her debut, and had the only ever #1 on MTV America’s video countdown chart by a British artist with her single “Love Me Or Hate Me”, which lead to over 750,000 sales/downloads in the US. She headlined Times Square on News Years Eve 2007 and played to over a million people as support on the Gwen Stefani tour. On paper it looked like the perfect ascent to success but ultimately she wasn’t happy. Sov realized that her independence and control were slipping and she decided to walk away.
Over the last year Sov has gone back into the studio and recorded her new album, on her terms, set up her own label, Midget Records – a global partnership with EMI. Sov is back in control.
