That is exactly what Natalie May is trying to get us to do with her latest single... First heard in last week on DJ Pioneer's Power Play on Kiss FM and luckily I was alone in my bedroom so I was at liberty to remove as much clothes as I wished!
Have a listen....
As much as I am thoroughly looking forward to playing this track over the airwaves while broadcasting The Funky Vault on Break London, I'm afraid it may have the same effect once again!
Barely into 2011, another legendary act is reported to be coming to an end. 10 years since ‘Has It Come to This’ was released under the Locked On label who had previous success with Artful Dodger and Craig David, the single reaching top 20 in March 2001, the Streets are soon to release their upcoming album titled ‘Computers and Blues’ which will be the last album released on their 5 album record deal with Atlantic.
Following the release of ‘Computers and Blues’ on 7th February 2011 and the subsequent tours, Mike Skinner is said to be writing a film… The stereotypical mind thinks along the lines of Guy Ritchie’s Snatch. Surely we can have more faith in the creativity of his mind to explore outside of the box and deliver something less expected. He does have an interesting mind after all.
Mike Skinner paved the way for British rappers such as The Mitchell Brothers, Example and Professor Green, who were also signed to his independent record label ‘The Beats Recordings’ which closed doors in 2007. The Streets will always be remembered for hits like Let’s Push Things Forward, Dry Your Eyes, Weak Become Heroes and personal favourite Blinded By The Lights.
The first release from the Computers and Blues album is Going Through Hell on 31st January 2011
I think I've been single for so long that I've forgotten what it's like to deal with the endless anguish that is relationships.... I've taken a moment away from the opposite sex to enable myself to focus on my goals and what I'd like to achieve. Relationships, love, stress, arguments, someone else's drama.... Who needs it? When put like that, none of us do, but if I had put it across differently some would've registered to Match.Com looking for a suitor already!
True fact is, when it comes to who needs love, well we all do.... While I'm over endulging in narcissism on every level possible whilst retaining my innocence, just focusing on 2010 alone, I have completed more than my emotions would've probably let me if I had taken the time to be dating, wondering if he likes my hair, clothes, nails, shoes, perfume. Am I being too clingy? Did I say/do the wrong thing? Am I gonna meet his mum? Does his mum like me? I'm actually getting a headache just thinking about it!! I'll stop there.....
But the truth fact is that if I don't want to end up on the shelf, I better get myself out there.... I got asked the other week if I believe that there is someone out there for everyone? Well I don't.... If there was, it would've been the father of my child.... You find someone and make a choice to tolerate their bad points and to compensate you get to enjoy their good ones.... Quite a task for me with my low levels of tolerance, and he'd have to be the opposite as I'm a unpredictable type of personality. You need to have patience to learn my moods, tolerance to handle when you get them wrong and be very laid back to ensure you don't retaliate when I'm having a bad one.... I'm just keeping it real lol
