Speech Debelle - Speech Therapy [CD]

Speech's sound has been received as urban pop, and she's drawn comparisons to Lily Allen and been called the lovechild of Biggie Smalls and Joanna Newsome. The childlike quality of her voice belies her often dark lyrical subject matter. The oldest song on here is called "Finish This Album". It was the tune she first played when she visited Big Dada almost five years ago. Speech is both young and old beyond her years. At the age of 25 her fragile voice can make her sound like a teenager, but she's packed in enough experience to last most people forever.
