Baby Blue features on ITV2 show "Under Pressure" tonight, helping television presenter Konnie Huq become an MC! The show starts at 9pm.
Fresh off the back of a stunning collaboration with Wretch 32 as well as the revolutionary female Game Over remix, Baby Blue teams up with leading producer Davinche on this catchy number entitled Paper Haters.
Blue flows authoritatively over Davinche's Hip Hop production which is due for release in March. The track's official video will be hitting TV screens over the next few weeks. Baby Blue's debut album is set to land later this year.
So, who IS she?
Baby Blue landed back on to the scene in 2010 with new single ‘Double Up’, produced by Nutty P, which followed in the steps of recent single ‘Run’ featuring Wretch 32. The female rapper and singer fuses Hip-hop with Grime, R&B and Pop, and she hopes her 2011 debut album will ‘stand the test of time, and become a real classic’. ‘Blue’ began putting together her album in 2009, and features production by Davinche and Nutty P. She gave insiders a sneak peek and performed some old classics at live music showcase event ILUVLIVE, performing a rendition of 'Keep Your Head Up' to a packed out crowd, surprising her fans by taking to the piano.
As a teenage female rapper, Blue’s breaking point was a song she recorded at the age of 18, ‘I Woulda’, inspired by her cousin's gang-related death in the US. The track was given to various DJs and received a great amount of support and airplay; a DJ at Choice FM told her it was one of the most requested songs they’d ever played. It was ‘I Woulda’ that caught the eye of fellow UK artist Estelle, who immediately invited Blue to New York to record the song 'Hey Girl' featuring John Legend, as well as another track for Estelle's debut album 'The 18th Day,' and featured in the video for the hit '1980.'Over the course of two years, Blue released the mixtapes 'Out of the Blue’ volumes one and two, which featured well known UK artists Estelle, So Solid Crew, Shystie, Sway, and Akala. The highlight of Blue's career to date has been working with British legends Madness on their comeback single 'Sorry' in 2007, also featuring Sway.
Blue ventured out to the states in 2008 in a bid to understand the business side of the industry a little better, she worked in A&R at P Diddy’s record label ‘Bad Boy’ and toured America and Europe with close friend Estelle.
Paper Haters is out in March 2011.
