The salient points


  • CocknBullKid isn't a cock, a bull or a kid.

  • Instead, she is Anita Blay, from 'trendy' Hackney in London.

  • Back in 2008 she was known as TheCocknBullKid, but ditched the 'the' to make the whole thing seem less ridiculous.

  • Well that certainly did the trick.

  • Her first single, 'On My Own' is really rather lovely, isn't it?

  • There was a lot of talk about (The)CocknBullKid around 2008/2009 and things seemed to be building a head of steam and then she decided to scrap all her songs and start afresh. In today's music industry this isn't always a good idea.

  • In 2011, she finally released her debut album, 'Adulthood', and it was amazing and everyone brought it and it stayed at Number One for six months.

  • This didn't actually happen, but it was amazing so let's listen to 'Yellow' anyway because it's great.
