Lanae claims she’s the ‘baddest’

Great things come in small packages, and 5' 5" Lanae Gillete is ready to turn the dancehall world on its head with a bouncy dancehall-pop track called ' Baddest-ish (Notice)'.

The single has been enjoying multiple spins on FM radio since it was leaked online last week. A viral video released this week has already racked up over 13,000 views on Instagram.

"People really love the song, judging by the comments on IG ... so I am very excited right now," Lanae said.

Lanae's declares on a trippy dancehall-electronica beat: " Am putting up a notice, I'm the baddest -ish and yu fi know this ".

"The song is not a diss song. I'm putting up a notice basically saying guys always want you to give it up on the first date. So am telling them that my legs will be closed but I am open for something else, if you know what I mean; I don't mind," Lanae said, laughing.

She is in her final year, reading for a management studies degree at the University of the West Indies. Her father is a certified carpenter and her mother is an administrative assistant, and both have embraced her sojourn into the music industry.

"Most of my family members are singers. My aunt, Garsha Hudson, did it professionally for a while. Both my parents are singers in church, especially my mother, so this is in my blood and I am ready for this new adventure," she said.
