3.7.13 - New Music - Eve and Gabe Saporta

Eve has been away from the scene for quite some time now (eleven years counts as “quite some time”, doesn’t it?). For some reason her album kept getting pushed back (as these things tend to do), and before you knew it she had two singles that hadn’t done much of anything and it was many years later.

Cut to 2013 and all of a sudden Eve is done with the waiting and she is ready to rule again. The rapstress left her label and founded her own, just so she could finally release her long-awaited ‘Lip Lock’. Lead single “She Bad Bad” has thus far failed to garner any real attention to speak of, so instead Ms. Eve is hoping that a pop collab with Gabe Saporta, the lead singer of Cobra Starship, will turn the tides.

I’m all for pop singers performing the hooks on rap tracks, but something here feels a bit off. My money is on Gabe, as Eve sounds as great as ever. If ‘Lip Locked’ has more of this sort of thing going on, than we should all be more excited (more than we already are of course).
