Free Music Notes for B Boy Baby
Free Music Review: Amazing Track.
Hit: 5 Stars
I knew instantly when I listened to "B Boy Baby" for the first time after I got the "Real Girl" album last year that it would be my favourite song. And how could it not be? It is a clever, modern re-working of the classic "Be My Baby," originally performed by The Ronettes, and it features Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse's vocals in the chorus give the song a 1960's girl-group feel, and the verses about a basketball playing beau bring the story into the present day. It's such an awesome combination, plus, Mutya sounds like she's having a good time singing the song.
The B-side is a cover of Tracy Chapman's 1988 Grammy winning song "Fast Car." Mutya recorded Fast Car for a BBC compilation album entitled "Radio 1, Established 1967" on which many artists popular in the UK cover tracks that were significant hits on the BBC's Radio 1.
Mutya's version of "Fast Car" is pretty straight-forward. Her husky vocals suit the simple keyboards used as the backing track. I haven't heard Tracy Chapman's original in years, but Mutya's version doesn't stray too far from the sentiments of the original song.
The UK pressing of the single also includes the video for "B Boy Baby" in an enhanced section. In the video we see Mutya walking around, while a group of basketball players do their thing on the court in a nearby park.
B Boy Baby Poster
UK enhanced three track CD pressing of the fourth single pulled from the former Sugababe's debut solo album Real Girl. It's no mean feat to leave the UK's biggest girlband; Sugababes, and make it a success, but that's exactly what Mutya Buena has managed, with a gold album under her belt. The 23 year old North Londoner has picked up an impressive cast of A list fans along the way including Prince, who she supported during his 21 date stint at London's O2 Arena and long time friend and label mate Amy Winehouse who provides guest vocals on 'B Boy Baby'. Features two versions of 'B Boy Baby' (Main Version and Enhanced Video) plus 'Fast Car'. Island.Pop Music CDs
