So can the former Sugababe go it alone? Ahh the question on everyone’s lips. Attempting to prove the sceptics wrong, she defines herself for present with the continuous chant “I know exactly who I am”, all well and good, but you’d expect a little more spice form Mutya.

Nicely set off with a sample from Lenny Kravitz’s ‘It Ain’t Over Til It’s Over’. But as a debut from arguably the best singer from the Sugababes, something more memorable wouldn’t go a miss. A few remixes might do it justice.

Mutya's trying to bring the "rawness" of sound to fore as a counterpoint to the highly synthesised, manufactured vocals prevalent in the industry. That's more real than you'd ever get from any other recording pop star. And that's quite brave in my book.

Except for a few who are more perceptive than most, it's a shame that many UK music critics haven't realised the importance of this initial offering from Ms. Buena. And to think that it's an artist who is one of their own. Tsk, tsk.
