Anya Marina’s rendition of T.I.‘s hit single ‘Whatever You Like’ is perhaps one of the most entertaining gangster rap covers of the year. Her video of the song is just as playful as the juxtaposition of her sweet melodic voice paired with the sexually overcharged lyrics originally spat from T.I.‘s mouth.
Her new album called ‘Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II’ is full of pop songs that are just as catchy and lyrically pleasing as her T.I. cover—all delivered with a coy sense of sensuality.
The ten tracks on the album are definitely worth checking out because Anya Marina is going places (and not just because of her gangster rap covers featured on Gossip Girl).
