Kid Sister Finally Set To Release Debut Album!!!!

Kid Sister's long awaited debut album is finally getting a release date!!! "Ultraviolet" is set to drop on Downtown Records October 6th.

When Kid Sister (aka Melisa Young) turned in her album, originally titled "Dream Date," in September of 2008, she pulled a daring move and asked Downtown to hold off on releasing it. "There were a few things about the album that irked me...the album wasn't cohesive", Young told Pitchfork in an interview earlier this year. Downtown allowed her some time to make the album what she wanted, and she went back to work with executive producer A-Trak and the rest of the creative team behind Fool's Gold. The result is the stunning "Ultraviolet." The album includes production by some of the most sought after, cutting edge producers working today (including A-Trak, Rusko, Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso, Sinden, XXXChange, Brian Kennedy, Herve, Yuksek and DJ Gant-Man) who all seem to have recognized the talent and star power that also motivated Kanye West to collaborate with her on 2007's Pro Nails single, helping in part to create the deafening buzz that surrounds her now. The album is 12 songs deep, with each track being mixed seamlessly into the next, creating a continuous mix of songs that contain an innovative approach to their perfectly honed pop sensibilities.

If you’ve been paying attention to kicks-n-jams, or the music scene at all, you’ll know Kid Sister is a rising star, having just signed to Downtown Records. Her second single, “Pro Nails” feat. Kanye West dropped recently so Fool’s Gold decided to put a tee out with artwork by Dust La Rock from the 12″ sleeve. You can purchase guys and girls tees here. Get ‘em while you still can!

Chromeo "Tenderoni" Kid Sister on the remix

Just to reinforce my love for all things Kid Sister here is a Sinden remix of "Tenderoni" by Chromeo that features a verse from the Chi-town mistress of ceremonies herself, Kid Sister!!

Hopefully this will serve to feed your own growing fascination with her as well.

Enjoy!

Kid Sister

OK, at this point if you don't know who Kid Sister is then you're beyond sleepin'! You may need medical attention. There may be right wing TV hosts calling for your life to be preserved despite the fact that you are legally brain dead. You are in a coma from which you will never emerge. Catholics may try to make you a saint. Trent Lott may hold a prayer vigil/press conference outside your bedroom. Fox News may run a special on your plight. All this is true...

But on the heels of the Fool's Gold Tour that hit NYC for CMJ this year I feel as if it is my duty to once again try a "Grey's Anatomy/ ER" miracle and shock you back to life. It's what McDreamy would want.

Kid Sister is from Chicago. Her brother is in the DJ crew Flosstradamus. She rules dance floors and generally is at the forefront of the emerging club rap scene spearheaded by Floss, Diplo, Plastic Little, Spank Rock, A-Trak, and Tampa's own Yo Majesty.

She has a track called "Pro-Nails" that is, interestingly enough, about how her fingernails are done very nicely. Think a clubby Lil' Mama. Kanye West is on the remix and that is the track I'm gonna post here for ya. Get ready to buy this album because 2008 is the year of the Kid Sister!!

Flosstradamus, Kid sister & Pase Rock in Tampa

I'm really excited about this one!! The folks at Pulp The Party are bringing in some extremely hot talent this coming Friday! I'm really excited to see Kid Sister perform! Plus it would be hard to go wrong with Spank Rock's Pase Rock and Flosstradamus all together in one place on one night. Really, if you live in Tampa or anyplace close to Tampa then you should really be there friday night August 17th at CZAR in tampa.
