After a six month delay, Keepin It Blonde was finally released on Monday via Itunes. Surprisingly, she's considered a love or hate artist despite her obvious talent with critics expressing that in spite of her claims, she isn't 'real' grime. However, what people tend to forget is that grime is a predominantly male orientated scene in need of a more diverse artist base which then leads to a scene built that is stronger and more vibrant.
So I ask, if a female vocalist with a passion for grime comes along and wants to get involved in the scene, why reject or slate her? Surely she should be supported and encouraged. People moan that the scene isn't progressing or getting the attention/respect it deserves so could this be the attitude that is holding it back?
Something to think about.
As a fan of the whole scene, I've bought this in support so look out for a review of Keepin It Blonde soon.
