New cocknbullkid Single Out Now!

Yay! It's finally out! Officially my favourite of all of thecocknbullkid's songs is now out and available to buy on iTunes (heh, what a plug! I'm practically ordering everyone to buy it!)

But seriously, just because I'm nuts about this song in which Anita Blay falls along the same slightly feminist and spunky lines as "On My Own Again" does't mean everyone else will be. But the fact is, everyone seems to be going nuts about her! I think it's really only a matter of time before this girl goes COLOSSAL and attacks the pop world viciuosly - any other outcome would be a crime against humanity!

So without further ado, I present to you "I'm Not Sorry":

Did You Catch This?

So... did you manage to catch thecocknbullkid on Later the other night? No? Not matter, here's a video anyway:

Not A Load of Cocknbull...

So you might have noticed that I've been enjoying the funky stylings of bedroom boffin The Cocknbullkid. She's from London and sounds homemade but in a good way with a lovely soulful voice.

Her single "On My Own Again" has been touted around as pretty good, so I thought I'd check out her MySpace page. Her voice sounds like that of Basement Jaxx's Vula on this track there's a brilliant electro interlude halfway through the song that sounds as if its been lifted straight from one of the retro Sonic the Hedgehog games. I prefer "Dead" though. While you can tell that she's been inspired by pop artists like Beyonce and Madonna, you can hear other more indie influences coming through. Which is probably why I like her blend of soul, indie and electronic. I'm hereby creating a new genre, called "selectrindie".

Okay, that was a bad idea. Still, being inspired by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, White Stripes and The Prodigy alongside your usual pop people must mean you've got some musical sense. And it shows.
