Rip Up The Rulebook finds the Boo on rare form as she continues on a songwriting roll that began during lockdown, saw the release of 2022’s Boomerang - the first new Boo music since 1992 - and hasn’t stopped yet. Chiming with messages of female empowerment from one of the original faces of GRRRl power, Rip Up The Rulebook looks set to soundtrack countless nights out (and the inevitable lost days that follow them).
Betty Boo’s fourth album also finds her paying homage to her musical roots as a pioneer in the early hip hop scene of the 1980s. During that period, she wrote and self-produced music as one of the She Rockers, before ending up on tour supporting Public Enemy across the States when she should still have been in school, several years before her mega-hit singles in the early ’90s. The album’s title track finds Betty Boo duetting with one of the scene’s true originators, Grandmaster Caz - the author of the lyrics to Rapper’s Delight (and star of the 2012 film Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap which was Executive produced by BB’s alter-ego, Alison Clarkson).
“I loved making Boomerang so much that I kept writing. I’m very proud of these songs and grateful to be back creating music full time. The album title Rip Up The Rulebook is my response to stereotypical ideas about what women should be doing in their fifties. I have never had so much fun making music (with my friends Andy Wright and Gavin Goldberg). Long may it continue”. Betty Boo, May ’24.
