if you don't know who cher lloyd is, you're missing out- but, i'm here to help. lloyd placed in the finals of last year's uk x factor. lloyd didn't win, but her pop-rap sensibility screams "bring me to america." her debut album, sticks + stones, dropped overseas and i can't stop playing it here, stateside. give some of my top picks a spin, below.
"grow up," ft. busta rhymes
this is my favorite off the ep, a peter pan-themed anthem featuring busta rhymes. it'll give you a good snapshot of the sound lloyd brings to the table.
"beautiful people," ft. carolina liar
lloyd brings the boys of carolina liar in on this bluesy ballad. if you've ever wanted to tell someone off in a sad, reflective way, then this is the song for you.
"with ur love," ft. mike posner
by now you've probably noticed a theme- collaborations are key on stick + stones. "with ur love" is the second official single off the album- you'll find it hard to get out of your head after a listen. or two. or three.
"over the moon"
a track without someone featured on it? unheard of! "over the moon" does feature the catchiest hook off the album, and the most original rapping by lloyd.
definitely check out the rest of cher's debut- you won't be disappointed. most of the album is available on spotify, so what are you waiting for?
