Although I personally prefer Switchboard, which I could dance to for hours on repeat, and Damn Girl, where you definitely need a partner to get up close and personal with, it was Pro Nails that got Kid Sister into this week’s top 20 RnB singles on Radio 1. Undoubtedly it has something to do with Kanye West featuring on the song and appearing in the video that put her in that position, but that is not to say that this is not a very talented woman.

This young lady is something of a conundrum. She tours with Kanye West, DJ A-Trak is her producer and boyfriend, she is signed to Downtown Records, and yet she still works at children’s clothes store. Kid Sister spits out rhymes at high speeds and combined with the wild beats popped in by her producer make you want to jump out of your seat and dance like a maniac but at the same time is a very down to earth and pleasant person, as far as I can tell from her interviews.

In some ways her style reminds me of MIA, although the Chicago born singer seems a bit more upbeat, less polemic in her songs, not that there is anything wrong with songs that are sung with more concern. Having said that, I still have to wait until late September for the release of Kid Sister’s Koko B. Ware (after the wrestler) before I can make a judgement like that.

The single is available for download and at record shops such as HMV and Play.com, and you can preorder the record if you like her as much as I do, and don’t forget to check out her videos.
