The Ordinary Boys vs Lady Sovereign - 'Nine2Five'

Fear not, Preston and the boys are not tackling Dolly Parton's anthem

Single Review by Dave Reid | 16 May 2006
Label: B-Unique
Fear not, Preston and the boys are not tackling Dolly Parton's anthem. This Nine2Five is in fact a heavily Specials influenced ditty, right down to the Ghost Town la la las. Precocious British hip-hop upstart Lady Sovereign has been enlisted to contribute her unmistakable rhymes but her efforts here seem a little tagged on for some extra credibility. Nine2Five isn't a great single but those la la las will stick in your head all day long, that ought to be enough to keep Preston out of a day job for a wee while yet. [Dave Reid]
