Speech Debelle - Better Days feat. Micachu

Speech Debelle - Better Days feat. Micachu
Single Reviews

A bleak and cheerless offering from the South London MC.



Label: Big Dada Recordings
Released: 27th July 2009
Reviewer: Wendy Davies
Speech Debelle needn’t be so gloomy. With her debut album ‘Speech Therapy’ nominated for the Mercury Prize, it makes us wonder how her days could get any better.

‘Better Days’ is a bleak and cheerless offering from the South London MC, with minimalist bass and drums to support the lacklustre vocals. Whilst the song’s content may be hard-hitting, with talk of escaping a violent life, the three minute track fails to uplift the listener with a happy ending, as the title suggests. Not one to put on a part soundtrack, that’s for sure. Rating: 4/10
