- British rapper Aitch premiered a new song “Baby” along with a music video on BBC Radio 1's Future Sounds with Clara Amfo.
The song will appear on his upcoming debut album. It was written by Aitch, FRED, Benjy Gibson, BERWYN and Crooza. Produced by FRED, Benjy Gibson, Crooza and BERWYN.
The track sampled “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)”, which was released by American singer-songwriter Ashanti in 2003.
Aitch told Clara Amfo about the song, “I've actually always loved that song. I was about four years old when it came out. It was my mom listened into it all the time. So I love that song. However, I actually wasn't my initial intention to do that. I just came and met with FRED, obviously produced it. And he said, 'I've made this beat for you. I figured I think you'd love as I play it, and it was that I was like, you must be mental.' So it all happened like that, but I'd love that song to be original Ashanti song.” - The accompanying video was directed by Zain Alexander Shammas, who shot it in Los Angeles.
Aitch said, “We shot in LA well in Malibu. There's not even a specific reason why I always say when the song made sense when it was like driving in LA, I think basically it came about because I was driving one time in LA separate time. And we were playing the song go beside it's just feeling right. We shot the video in some big massive huge house in the hills. But it was just good fun and just have a good time. So I love LA.” - source : BBC Radio 1
