So last night was the Billboard Awards or the Irrelevant Magazine World Cup or the CHARTS MEAN NOTHING NOW AND WE FEAR FOR OUR CAREERS ceremony or something. It was basically one of those self-congratulatory crapfests where the people who were always obviously going to win won and the people who obviously weren't going to win didn't even show up, but the evening was notable for one thing. And this is that thing:
No, Britney can't dance still, and no, Nikki Minaj is still nothing more than a big personality with kinda crap songs, but goddamn if that wasn't a blast to watch.
Kid Sister chucked out a quite listenable tune called 'Right Hand Hi' a long time ago and then, judging by her public profile over the last few months, went to the spa for about a year or so.
Luckily they appear to have had a rather advanced recording studio at whatever spa it was, and Miss Sister was able to lay down some tracks in between mud baths or whatever the hell goes on in those places. She's actually worked with some pretty great people, and her stuff isn't half bad. But once you've been the "next big thing" and then disappeared, it's hard to get that momentum back. Especially when that Nikki Minaj thing kinda stole your thunder...
Anyhow, for those of you who don't remember (i.e. ALL OF YOU), this is what 'Right Hand Hi' was like:
Not bad, eh? Well if you'd like some more things that sound like that but slightly different, here's a link to a whole bunch of Nikki Mina...er, Kid Sister tunes:
