Lady Sovereign not copying Kanye, OK?

Lady Sovereign has said that singing on her new album is not a copy of Kanye West, and that she doesn't mind if her voice isn't perfect.

Lady Sovereign would like it to be known that just because she's singing on the title track of her new album, 'Jigsaw', she's not copying Kanye West. So don't go saying she is.

She says she sings on some of her new songs, as well as doing the rapping, because she enjoys doing so, adding that she doesn't care if her voice "doesn't sound perfect".

That too is presumably a reference to Kanye, who was criticised for using Auto-Tune technology to fix his off notes on his album '808s And Heartbreak'.

The Lady told Rolling Stone: "Kanye can't sing and everyone knows that. There's a reason why some people are rappers to begin with".
