New York, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Midget Records) - Lady Sovereign's genre-breaking sophomore album Jigsaw is out today via her own label Midget Records, available at all major retailers and iTunes digitally. Already a success in her native UK, the single "
So Human" charted in the top 40 on Sunday in the week prior to it's official release on download sales alone - a huge success for the only truly independent label in the charts!
In addition, Lady Sovereign has landed the Pharell-endorsed live band Chester French and Chicago-based rapper Hollywood Holt, making this tour a promising showcase for new artists and Sovereign's new music. More details on tour dates and album release events in NYC below.
