Jamelia, schmamelia. Big up for having a baby, but musically we could take or leave ya luv. Preferably the latter.

Evidently garage's Danny Weed (of Dizzee Rascal's Roll Deep Entourage) and Target ( of Pay As U Go Cartel) agree, seeing as barely a snippet of Jamelia remains on this re-rub. But what a fine remix it is.

Most "8bar" garage beats are currently fairly interchangeable. Handclaps, techy touches and a huge bass is the norm - less is more room for the MC.

This remix stands out. Perhaps it's the swerving Wiley-esque bass or the "oh
my god/look at him" hooks that does it.

Either way like a crap scarecrow joke, it's outstanding in it's own field.

Arf.

8/10

When Jamelia announced in 2000 that she would be taking a break from the music industry to give birth to her first child, odds on an effortless return were low against a background of the perpetually struggling UK R&B scene. And this, despite the huge flash of hope injected by the success of Craig David and Jamelia's own triumphs with her debut album, 'Drama'.

That she's back already and poised to deliver a UK R&B record as contemporary as anything we have heard since she was last with us is testament to both her commitment and that of her record label. You sense that others would have been less patient.

Busta Rhymes' rhyming compadre, Rah Digga, is brought in to make the UK-US axis crystal clear yet the song never really manages to take off. While 'Bout', like so much winning US R&B, lets the song take second place to the production, this trick only seems to work when the sounds are in the hands of a small number of prodigiously gifted and overpaid (mostly American) producers.
