MP3: Miss Li - I'm sorry, he's mine
Two albums in under a year? Unheard of! (Ryan Adams excluded) Miss Li quickly rose to prominence on the back of myspace-related hype, got signed to National and hustled out her debut record "Late night heartbroken blues". Despite its flaws, I found it to be a charming debut. A little rough in spots, perhaps a little rushed, but perfectly acceptable. Now, not even six months late, Miss Li's gone and released the follow-up "God put a rainbow in the sky" and surprisingly, I think it's better than the first one. The songwriting is bit more varied and the overall level of quality is far more consistent. The formula isn't that much different: Miss Li is still a saucy little tart and though she might express remorse for stealing your man, you don't believe that she means it. When she says she's sad and follows it with "But life's cruel when you fall for / Someone that don't belong to you" it really doesn't seem all that genuine, y'know? Overall, I think there's still plenty of room for improvement, but keep giving me cheeky little numbers like this and I'll keep paying attention.
