Despite her newfound cache amongst American music nerds for her collabo with Ghostface...
...and that Rehab joint (which I'm convinced indie heads are all over because there is a Hot Chip remix), she's been fire since her first album which was on some stank nasty Arsenio Hall long finger type jazz-funk (which was on the Mercury Music Short List in 2004):
