We’ve been fans of Anita Blay, aka Cocknbullkid, for a very long time. So long, in fact, that I think there was an unspoken assumption in the CMU office that she would never record an album. But now she has, and what’s more she’s co-written it with Chilly Gonzales, who, you might have noticed, we’re a little bit in love with as well. Entitled ‘Adulthood’, the long player will be released by Moshi Moshi in April and we can’t wait.

Helping to build the anticipation at CMU HQ is the album’s first single, ‘Hold On To Your Misery’, which is due for release on 5 Mar. Describing it as an “anti-anthem”, Blay says of the song: “It’s about stopping putting so much value on being happy. When I’m happy, things start to drop. Sometimes you have to go back to that point when you’re fourteen and you think everyone hates you”.

The video for the track is online now. It features bright colours, 60s girl group-style dancing and children crying. What more do you want?
