Fresh from insulting X Factor’s Leona Lewis, Jamelia’s back on the scene with a new single! Funny how those tabloid-grabbing stories break whenever there’s a release on the horizon, isn’t it?

Until this minute, I haven’t paid an awful lot of attention to Jamelia’s career, but Beware of the Dog might change all that. It’s a sassy reworking of Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus that’s drawing comparisons with Rihanna’s S.O.S.

Everything about the tune is aggressive, from the dirty synth sounds to Jamelia’s growling. Yes, the subject is straight from the “All Men Are Bastards Songbook”, but can someone explain whose benefit she’s writhing around in the video for?
