Sad13 x lizzo - Basement queens
thirty tigers, 2016
Engineer
“…a righteous collaboration..Leave it to two innovatively feminist musicians to make something as unexciting as a Google Doc into a tool for world domination.”
- Vice
“Speedy Ortiz frontwoman Sadie Dupuis — here known as her new pop moniker Sad13 — has teamed up with hip-hop newcomer Lizzo to create a bombastic new single called “Basement Queens.”
- Spin
“For Lizzo and Sad13, the result is an off-kilter banger teetering on drowsy guitars and bubbly production courtesy of Computer Magic. As is befitting the collaborators involved, the track is about the type of women you can’t even step to because they’re running more game than you could ever muster.”
“The song itself alternates between Lizzo’s rapping and Dupuis’ knotted guitar playing, and sounds like it digs deeper into the Destiny’s Child, TLC, and 3LW influences of Speedy Ortiz’s most recent album.”
