Self-claimed "part-time rapper, full-time friend", Sirah does her own thing by not following the mainstream entertainment B.S. that is spoon-fed to the masses. CULT is the definition of want Sirah believes in.
Hot songs:
- "Up and Down" - a true testament to her time collaborating with Skrillex and using many aspects of the popular, but over-hyped, Dubstep genre. All said it's possibly the best example of indie, rap, and cleaner dubstep. The music video is based around dancers throwing colored chalk at each other, which does not impress me, but the video has many excellent timed cuts that compliment the music (especially at time: 2:40)
- "Made It" - Rhythm-wise, mix "Stand by Me" and "Killing Me Softly" (Lauryn Hill version). When I first listened to CULT, I replayed this song probably 20 time in a row. A great mixture of lyrics and rhythm.
- "When I'm Gone" - A pissed-off, middle finger-flinging, "I'll do what I f@$king want", pissed at modern society,... Goodness ;)
Unimpressed songs:
- "Blew Your Mind" - Too Britney Spears-ish during the chorus.
- "Like Me Now" - Too monotonous.
Overall CULT is a great accomplishment for Sirah that proves people can do what they love and be proud of it. Sirah, keep following your dream and don't ever sell out!
