Pete Doherty’s old flame mixes Dizzee Rascal style hip-hop with fuzzy old skool pop, giving it attitude and brevity, with some catty femme backing adding the finishing touches.
His provocative blasé touch has only been accentuated, especially with the introduction of some saucy Salt N’ Peppa femme vocals to massage his ego. Also, his boasts are losing none of their arrogance:
“I turn a good girl into a freak.”
A ‘Club Mix’ incorporates a digitally fuzzed up, pop/disco slant with an R N’ B edge that aids the spiciness of the track. Yeah, he is clichéd and a little forced, but Da Bizzle still has oodles of rhythm, oomph and cockiness.
