The CocknBullKid 'Hold On To Your Misery'
Her debut album may feel as though it's taken longer to arrive than a package from Amazon Antarctica, her choice of stage name may continue to confuse - the "the" has now been nuked, apparently - and her tunes may have been treated to a somewhat surprising sonic overhaul, but, truth be told, we don't care. Why? Because, sure as eggs benedict is eggs benedict, Anita Blay is always bloody brilliant.

What's more, 'Hold On To Your Misery', the second single from that yay-it's-actually-on-its-way-now! album, could be the most brilliant thing she's given us yet. The electropoppy stylings of her beginnings are long gone of course, but still, who'd have thought CocknBullKid would come up with this, a Motowny swooner of a pop tune complete with hand-claps, swelling strings and a chorus that truly warms the cockles? Best of all, the gooey sweetness of the music is offset by the astringency in her lyrics - a bit like a choccie brownie studded with tart shards of dried raspberry.
