CocknBullKid is poised and ready to take on 2011
CocknBullKid is poised and ready to take on 2011 and what better way to kick things off than with the massive single ‘Hold On to Your Misery’? We all know and cherish Miss Anita Blay – from early one off 7”’s exciting the senses, her potential to grow from coolness of the underground to a true pop sensation has always been huge. Now she’s up there with the new crop of truly exciting and talented British girls and boy, has it been worth the wait. Where 2010 was all about the planning, the writing, the studio, the touring (with Marina & Kele just lately to name but a couple), this year holds big things for CocknBullKid. Following ‘One Eye Closed’ which enjoyed superb radio support at R1, 6 Music, XFM, NME and Q, ‘Hold On To Your Misery’ is an out and out smash of a pop song, whilst retaining that distinctive cool and sassy CocknBullKid sound. It’s what Blay calls 'an anti-anthem'. "It's about stopping putting so much value on being happy. When I'm happy, things start to drop. Sometimes you have to go back to that point when you're 14 and you think everyone hates you." Her debut album ‘Adulthood’ is due in April and no–one could even begin to deny that she’s completely nailed it. Co-written by Chilly Gonzales and produced by Liam Howe, it’s fast becoming apparent that CocknBullKid is in possession of the most interesting, credible pop record of 2011.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY
‘The deal-clincher in Blay’s talent bank is her ability to convey relish, menace, a desire to experiment and the sense that her work is always teetering on the edge of chaos, all set to melodies to die for. Watch her go.’ Sunday Times Culture
‘CocknBullKid is the Candi Staton for the MacBook generation…standout track ‘Misery’ is a mixture of self-doubt and ambition set to a storming disco beat.’ NME
‘ – a serious one to watch’ The Sun
