"The Stoop"
Little Jackie (S-Curve Records)
There's nothing small about Little Jackie's debut.
The Brooklyn-based duo of singer/songwriter Imani Coppola and programmer Adam Pallin go hard on "The Stoop," a solid collection of 11 tracks. The CD has both a contemporary and classic sound, thanks to its funky Motown vibe mixed with hip-hop beats.
Coppola can be comical and quirky, and that's reflected lyrically on "The Stoop." On the first single, "The World Should Revolve Around Me," she sings, "I've had a lot of failed relationships/I don't get involved cause I'm not equipped/I believe that the world should revolve around me."
Coppola is even bolder on the sensuous "Guys Like When Girls Kiss," where she says she may "get with a woman" because she's "perplexed by the opposite sex."
Whether she's pushing boundaries or being introspective, Coppola is always worth a listen.
Check out this track: On "Black Barbie" Coppola pokes fun at the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan - singing, "Bon appetit, I promise I eat/I'm a mess in a designer dress/I've been so distressed I confess/But there's no such thing as bad press." Ouch!
