Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Following her recent hit '9 to 5', Lady Sovereign releases her latest Basement Jaxx produced single, 'Hoodie'. As much an ode to Adidas and Lady Sov's favorite attire, the single 'Hoodie' also marks an attempt by Lady Sov to save the hoodie from the current wave of middle England's alarmist tactics. By dedicating a positive track to her first fashion love, SOV aims to outline the absurdity of banning an item of clothing and to draw attention to the greater social issues at heart. Title track is backed the Original Mix, A Brucker & Sinden Remix Featuring Tinchy Stryder, Mizz Beats Remix Featuring Skepta, JME, Jammer, Ears & Baby Blue, Ringtone and Video. Island. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Save the hoodie!, January 24, 2006

By	Reader of myth and faerie - See all my reviews

This is my fav Sov track and I'm sorry it's only available in the US as a single. Middle class mall mums and dads are pressing to ban hoodies as acceptable attire in the UK's shopping centres. (What's next girls won't be allowed in if they aren't wearing skirts and boys have to have on a coat and tie? Get real ladies and gents!) Wearing a hoodie doesn't make you a criminal as Sov histerically points out in the track and accompaning video.

Bassment Jaxx's remix is superb and Sov's social commentary with humor shows us why some have dubed her 'Femenem'. Buy this disk and save the hoodie!

I'm a HUGE fan of Lady Sovereign. Her new stuff is significantally different to this. This song is rather comical and along with "Those Were The Days", the song means a lot to Lady Sov. It has a good message. And I agree. What on Mars is wrong with people? There's nothing wrong with Hoodies! Is it that the're not people?, not intelligent? Come on! I'm a hoodie and I've topped my class in the last 2 Maths tests! Hoodies are people! Save the Hoodie! The music video is about Lady Sov and other Hoodies chasing a woman around a shopping centre. When they trap her, the Lady gives her the woman's handbag to her, which she left in a shop.
