It's good to know The Forehead hasn't forgotten she's an island girl, and that she's still got the whinin' skills down. She can't really do much in the way of choreographed steps, but she can whine, and that's something. I'm all about when she takes it to the floor at the 2:08 mark.
The Forehead has really been coming into her own with Rated R. I don't think the album is all that great. And she's released all of the most single worthy songs off of it already. But her presence and persona has really come through. And "Rude boy" is a great showcase of how far she's come. You watch this video, and she looks like a star. There's no awkwardness there.
The video wasn't original. Melina had used a similar special effect style for Solange's "I decided", M.I.A has done this style before and Neneh Cherry pioneered the shit back in the 80's with the awesome "Buffalo stance". But it was a really cool video. The Forehead had me with all the whining.
How wierd does The Forehead look with long hair now!? I almost forget she had it long when she started out. Short hair definitely suits her better.
