Naomi Campbell

UK supermodel Campbell hardly shocked the music sector using the announcement that, following ‘achievement’ of her ‘ghost-written’ book, she was going to start a singing profession. Her only prior musical connection have been in dating Adam Clayton of U2, and with her debut record dubbed Babywoman, the auspices weren’t good. Nevertheless, a concerted work by some significant backroom staff produced the record at least listenable. The primary collaborators were Youngsters (Brilliant, Getting rid of Joke), Tim Simenon (Bomb The Bass) and Gavin Seezer. Composed of up-tempo home/disco stompers, with hip-hop rhythms noticeable over the excruciating cover edition of T-Rex’s ‘Trip A Light Swan’ and an improbable edition of Luscious Jackson’s ‘Lifestyle Of Amusement’, it offered more being a backdrop to some expensively filmed movies than a melody collection in its right. The treating material such as for example Zoe’s ‘Sunlight ON THE Rainy Time’ indicated a wish to hijack Kylie Minogue’s smiling kiddie-pop territory, however the task appeared hopelessly contrived despite having such well-respected music artists.
