In all seriousness though – Usher, Lil Jon and Ludacris – what else would a 2000’s kid want?Īnd Confessions, that was from me to you.Ĭatch Bootleg Rascal touring the nation off the back of their new album ‘Anònimo’ across October & November (dates below).Ī smorgasbord of flavours from hip-hop, to reggae, indie-rock, dub, electronica and even gospel, the Sydney ghetto fusion lords’ sophomore LP is a feast for the ears.Usher Raymond, James Harris III, Terry Lewis ‘Caught Up’ and ‘Yeah’, you both were major staples in my young singing self. There wasn’t many people admitting stuff like this because they didn’t think it was cool but I felt the complete opposite.īut in all sadness, there was happiness. Little me then realised I didn’t need to have a lot of women, it was okay to be caught up on one girl in the playground. You helped these situations and always taught me it was okay to release that corny, heartbroken, emotional, romantic side. I remember there were a few instances where I got rejected, and ‘Burn’ was always there. It was okay to be in touch with an emotional part of yourself. Confessions Part II, admitting your wrongs, making it okay to be vulnerable in that situation, you showed me that I didn’t have to be the tough guy. The way Confessions was shaped, instead of playing the typical tough guy who didn’t care about anything and had heaps of honeys, you were the complete opposite. Although huge to many, the way you resonated with me was deep for a 12-year-old. Confessions, when you came out, along came Usher – this mad dude who’s just putting everything on the table and spilling it out. Growing up, I’d get teased about being a singer because everyone at school played rugby and wanted to be really tough. Coming from a South-American family, the culture is very romantic – and I mean cheese coloured corn to the bone.

I was just a little singer growing up in Liverpool which was full of bravado, where everyones Dad was a chippie or a carpenter. Confessions, you came out at a complicated time in my life as a little human.
