For those on here not familiar with her, she did some work on the last Outkast album, and on Big Boi's Purple Ribbon album. Her new ep is my shit right now. Her voice is incredible. Anyone else diggin' this??

    Looks intriguing.

    --Rolls with Outkast
    --Metropolis inspired
    --Appears to be a robot
    --Dope title

    Same here.

    I loved that song "Lettin' Go" from (I think) the Purple Ribbon All-Stars joint. I wish it'd blown up.

    I was playing that song at every gig for a while. That cover is kind of but I want to check this out.

    Yeah I like the song 'Sincerely, Jane'. Its sounds all grand and theatrical or something, plus the end reminds me of that Tomita version of Claire De Lune. Which is like the hottest shit ever.

    That's probably my favorite song on the ep, which while only 5 tracks, is her best work yet in my opinion.

    The ep is just $5, and is highly recommended.

    Heh... I didn't know that was her. I had only heard that song on that New Year's Eve mix by The Rub.

    She's flipped it on some lady Andre 3000 for that EP. It's fresh though.
