Amanda Blank, I Love You

Amanda Blank’s dirty, sex-charged solo debut is predictable electro-rap brilliance. Tracks from the Spank Rock protégé range from the album’s rapid-fire opener “Make It Take It” (a sonic lovechild of Santigold and Toni Basil) to the bass-heavy “Make-Up,” which dips into trance territory.

Blank’s old-school 2-4 rhymes hit hardest on “Lemme Get Some” featuring Chuck English, but indie sensibilities abound: sensitive-side ballad “A Love Song” gives the bad-girl hedonism a nice counterpoint, and the Lykke Li collaboration “Leaving You Behind” is a low-tempo affair that boils to a fittingly epic finish.
