Article comprehension
Hi, there!
I was reading an article about a singer and I had a problem of comprehension. Here is the excerpt.
[...] After a brassy version of “Delayed Devotion”, [...] she said that some of her songs are about not taking any lip. Or something to that effect.
I'd like to know what is the meaning of the boldfaced sentence.
Thanks in advance!
