Amazon.co.uk Review
Dynamite made her name as the UK's best female garage MC. She was single-handedly responsible for making Sticky's Boo! a top-twenty hit in 2001 and looked set to become the next big thing from the UK's two-step scene. Instead, the 21-year-old North Londoner shipped herself off to New York and made an album of R&B. While A Little Deeper is good it pales alongside competition from artists such as Lauryn Hill, Mary J Blige or the similarly youthful Alicia Keys. Dynamite's natural blend of ragga, hip-hop and garage chat has virtually disappeared to be replaced by a semi-decent nasal singing voice. The only thing that now differentiates Dynamite from her American contemporaries is that she swears more. The addition of played-out US rapper Nas on "Afraid To Fly" is another sign that A Little Deeper is a prepackaged product for American consumption. The album has a couple of outstanding moments, particularly on "Dy-na-mi-tee" when this oldest of 11 brothers and sisters soulfully narrates the tale of her upbringing. "The Natural High" interlude is also spine-tingling as she slips back to her pirate-radio roots in a tirade against drugs. At 55 seconds it's not enough, leaving the album more sparkler than Dynamite. --Jake Barnes

Customer Reviews

Ms Dynamite has got to be one of the most talented artists EVER! I bought this album the first day it was released and i was IMPRESSED soooo much i bragged about it for her in front of all my mates!!

Now i cannot wait till the new one is out!

Something for everyone
This album is brilliant. Although im not really a fan of garage/rnb i was hooked on dy-na-mi-tee from the first time i heard it and so threw this album onto my birthday list not expecting too much. However i was suprised and very pleased with what i heard. Stand out tracks include: dy-n-mi-tee put him out it takes more and krazy krush. However thats not to say the others arnt great too. Theres not one track on heere that i skip or dislike. if u are thinking of experimentig in your music tastes i would really recommend this album cos theres something for everyone. garage, rnb , soul and a lil bit of hip hop.

Something for everyone
I must admit, I am not a garage person - in fact I usually detest it, rock is more my thing - but I felt I had to buy this album after hearing the 3 singles, and seeing Ms Dynamite interviewed.
I was not disappointed. The tracks are fantastic, and Ms Dynamite shows remarkable talent for a debut album. Best of all, the lyrics are deep and meaningful - again, amazingly mature to be written by a 21-year-old. You do not have to be a typical garage fan to enjoy this album, because it crosses all bases. Even if you're not a fan of the music, the lyrics give an interesting insight. Buy it!
