http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10588763&rws=%2Famanda-blank%2Ftop-tracks.rssThe only thing "blank" about this Philly rapper is the name. No blank slate, Amanda Blank is an in-command presence with sass to spare. Blank came up alongside her hometown homies Spank Rock, dropping rhymes on their 2006 album <I>Yoyoyoyoyo</I>; the same year, she anchored Aaron LaCrate's <I>Blow</I> EP. She was soon appearing on all manner of tracks and mixtapes from the likes of Santigold and Diplo. She released her debut album, <I>I Love You</I>, in 2009. Produced by Diplo, TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek and Spank Rock's XXXChange, the album balances feverishly futuristic dance music -- itself a fusion of crunk, Baltimore club and internationalist beats that probably haven't even been named yet -- with touches of new wave, from flourishes of the B-52s in "Make It Take It" to the gutter electro of "Might Like You Better," which reprises the sultry come-on ("...if we slept together") of '80s pop aberration Romeo Void's "Never Say Never." Whatever her name suggests, coloring outside the lines comes easy to Amanda Blank. - Philip SherburneElectro-Funken720Wed, 16 Dec 2009 06:18:07 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10588763&rws=%2Famanda-blank%2Ftop-tracks.rss The only thing "blank" about this Philly rapper is the name.
