Misha B's single was influenced by Cyndi Lauper and Misha B

  • June 26, 2012
  • Joel Freeman

Misha B has been speaking yet again about her debut single.

When asked by ThatGrapeJuice if 'Home Run''s 'urban flavour' was a conscious decision, Misha explained: "Not really. We kind of went into the studio open-minded. When I went into the studio with a guy called MNEK, the producer of 'Home Run', he already had something which he was working on. But me, I kind of like working from fresh."

Turning to herself as a source of inspir­a­tion, Misha B instruc­ted MNEK "to watch my per­form­ance of Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'… and asked what kind of vibe he got off me as an artist".

Meanwhile, when ques­tioned about the rumours of 'Hit Em Wit Da Hee' hitmaker Missy Elliott appearing on her debut album, Misha 'revealed': "Yeah, there is a lot of truth in that. She's working on her album at the moment… but we're def­in­itely both keen to do that."

'Home Run' will be released on July 15.
