The first thing about Speech Debelle that strikes the
ear is a contrast. Her voice is warm, youthful and listenable, and if
you heard her in the background you might assume that her lyrics were
the same. You'd be better placed tuning into them. In common with her
new label-mate Roots Manuva, she's astoundingly honest in her music,
detailing and exorcising some very personal demons. That isn't to say
she's another run of the mill rapper with more complaints than insights.
Quite the opposite. Like all musicians worth listening to, she draws you
into her universe and makes you glad you visited. There's always a thaw
to the chillier moments. 'Searching' is her debut single, and a perfect
example of the offbeat, folky production that will litter the
forthcoming album, as well as the whisper-in-the-ear quality of her
vocals. One thing is certain, hip-hop has never been done in quite this
way before. 'Searching' makes you wonder why not.
