"So Human" (below), the second leak off the rapper's first album in three years, Jigsaw (out April 7), borrows the melody and hook from the Cure's "Close to Me," covers it in computer blips and bleeps, and speeds it up to a dance-floor friendly BPM. Then Sov, born Louise Harman, adds her London-ghetto-bred cockney rhymes about "having bad days" and "needing a fucking bag of green to make it all go away."
