MUSIC REVIEW: Lady Saw Walk Out CD
 Lady Saw, Walk Out (VP): American pop music audiences may mainly know Lady Saw from her cameo on No Doubt's Grammy-winning 2003 single, Underneath It All. But the reggae vocalist has more than a decade of music under her belt, or shall we say under her skirt? Respected as dancehall's first lady in Jamaica, Lady Saw's post-feminist, sex-obsessed lyrics often extol the power of women's sex organs.
On her eighth solo disc, Walk Out, she makes pains to balance the raunchiness with street anthems and some self-help sentimentalism. Me and My Crew (The Rae) is a flag-waving party song, punctuated by sharp turntable scratches. Meanwhile, the electro-riddim of Power of the Pum is all dark seduction, with Lady Saw bragging about her nookie: "Gotta lotta men losing their senses/ just to get close and be friends/ me have big men jumping wire fences."
Yet Lady Saw displays a vulnerable side too. The inspirational No Less Than A Woman addresses female infertility. And the lilting R&B of Not the World's Prettiest is a love-yourself rejoinder to the narrow Western standards of beauty.
The slight earnestness adds a humane touch to her catalog of hardcore tracks, proving that Lady Saw endures not only because of her sharp tongue but her big heart.

Just for the record, Kelis was the 1st to rock the reinvented asymnmetrical hair style, not Riahnna... Anyway Lady Saw u r de real deal I love the tune having a baby don't make you a woman, opening your home to children in need is a true woman and mother... By the way u are a beautiful person inside and out, and for the Badmind people dem... Tell dem "CHAT TO ME BACK...
You have fans that will always support u, because u r the original... Lil Kim, spice and Foxy Brown all ah follow the Queen Saw. BOOM BANG BADOOOOOOOOM.
