It takes more to confuse a girl like me

Headphones plugged into my portable CD player, high top trainers, hair tied back far too tight with black eyeliner painted across my eyes just like her, I remember dancing around my room pretending to be Ms Dy-Na-Mi-Teeeee... and that was only last week! I joke I joke, I must have been about 11/12; new to high school - having zero confidence at school meant I saved all my energy for those wicked dance routines I put together just for the eyes of me and the mirror, oh and my parents any time they walked in on my clicking  like a diva in front of the mirror.

Listening to the album now the lyrics are pretty grown up for the young innocent mind of me when I was 11; very late to grow up  I have to add I'm sure I definitely didn't know what she was singing about. For example, at age 13 a girl in my class said she had had sex last night - I responded "What? On a Wednesday??" Until that point I thought people only engaged in that activity on weekends - Oh dear!!

Ms Dynamite's album "A Little Deeper" made me feel like a little diva, for someone with my limited knowledge at that age I probably didn't know what I was singing! But the beat was something I could dance too, a quality I still only seem to care about now - nothing changes!

 Favourite songs off the album from way back in 2002? Of course Ms Dy-Na-Mi-Tee, It Takes More and can't get this song off repeat at the moment "Sick & Tired" - Yes I pretty ill at the moment and pretty tired but thats not why - I love the chorus and found myself singing the catchy (catchy? god i sound about 60) lyrics around the house on a few occasions. Maybe its time to click onto the next song?

It seems ages ago now, but I've heard quite a lot of people buzzing on about "Wile Out"; being confined the the library recently means I haven't been going out a tenth as much as I used to - meaning I'm missing out in decent songs like this playing in clubs. I like it anyway - Ms Dynamite has definitely done something good to the dubstep/dance scene at the moment, loving her worth with Magnetic Man (Fire - a favourite) and her solo work too. I missed her at uni when she performed here but a friend of mine went and he said she was brilliant to watch live - must look her up in Leeds!

So for anyone that is appreciating her latest work, get your headphones on and maybe pretend you are Ms Dynamite again - certainly made my Wednesday afternoon! FiftysAtHeart xx
