Err , hang-on a minute! Hasn't Estelle already been here and done this track 18 months ago, when she spat her life history out in the mini biog that was 1980? The parallels between Estelle's radio friendly debut and Baby Blue's carbon copy, sorry, new single Sometimes are there for everyone to see, but this is the latest in a long line of Grime, where autobiographical rapping rules and everyone's life story is valid and valuable.
Baby Blue is a 20-year-old female MC from south west London, heralded as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from an underground movement that is taking over the UK. Don't buy this track expecting to purchase something new and innovative but instead brace yourself to hear some prodigious rhyming and the familiar stirrings of overcoming adversity, triumphing despite the odds and just how goddamn tough it is to become a signed hip hop artists. Yes it's 8 mile High, yes it's Lady Sovereign and, yes, it's as close as you'll get to a carbon copy of Estelle's thumping 1980.
However, I still don't care, the additional track this single comes packaged with is a feisty little track will make sure that this little lady will be singing and signing her version of the blues for a good while yet.
