Where is this accent from? UK or Australia?

Here I am, working although it's Saturday 10:00 PM, listening to some ragga and eurodance when my winamp reminded me of this tune:

SMS feat Rehb - Just a bit of Chaos

And I was wondering: where is this singer from? The way she says "started" almost as "stawted" reminds me of some brit accents, while the way she says "play" sounds aussie to me (Yeah, I'm a bit addicted to phonetics).

Can someone please enlighten me? Here's a sample

This tune rocks being played +7%

Hm, it's kinda somewhere in between, but I'd say it's more british than australian.

I strongly recommend listening to it while being drunk in a party where the man in charge of the music is a DJ with no beatmatching skills whatsoever What can I do? It's so catchy, plus it bring me memories from that night... the ones I still have after the hangover, that is

definately not an aussie accent ! has the characteristics of very heavy english one though

Posted by DannyO on Sep-07-2003 07:17:

yea, its a Southern British accent.
well only 90% sure, I'm pretty wasted right now.

i dont think its an aussie one either..

Posted by Lira on Sep-07-2003 07:47:

Kay, so I'm convinced it's not an aussie accent

Southern English is indeed my only guess now then. I guess people near London wouldn't pronounce "play" the way, so maybe it's somewhere more in the west, like Bristol? The girls remind me a bit from the MC of Massive Attack, and since they're from Bristol, it would make sense

after to listening to it a coupla times i can't say i'd place the accent as aussie - i'd be more inclined ot say it was british. but people often change their vocalisation/pronunciation when they sing.

It's a strange one. She's either from the U.K or is a butch aussie.

def southern brit, london ish? but def southern and not northern.... like. lol

Posted by dj_mdma on Sep-07-2003 13:56:

definately Southern London accent. Take it from me
When u approach bristol the accent becomes influenced by the West County's. (Think "Farmer Giles" )

Yeh, people from bristol talk like they are inbred + cornish. This person doesn't sound like that to me.

Posted by DannyO on Sep-07-2003 20:13:

yea, that accent definately ain't south west england accent.
LOL...Farmer Giles....haven't heard that in awhile.

So, it's not from Bristol nor from Australia... then...

Sure I will, you live in London It makes me wonder how a city can have so many different accents... I'm used to rp, to some cockney and I've studied a lot about what they call "Estuary English", but I found this girl's accent too thick to be Londonian
