But whose songs make her feel bougie?The first single I ever bought Aaliyah, Rock the Boat. My nan sent me and my cousin to pick up some bits in Dalston and there was some change left over so I went into HMV and bought this CD for £1.99.

I would have got a couple of licks.The song I inexplicably know every lyric to Mambo No 5 (A Little Bit of ) by Lou Bega. I was working on my album recently and realised I knew every word. I was so impressed because I barely remember my own lyrics. Continue reading...
