Kid Bookie<\/a> for an empowering, genre-blurring new named after her. See the video first on NME below, along with our interview with the duo talk about defying expectations, plans to perform live together, and kickstarting a new chapter.<\/p>\nReleased as the debut single from Kid Bookie\u2019s forthcoming album, \u2018Rose McGowan\u2019 marks an intriguing new era for the South East London artist, who has already made a name for himself with his ability to fuse hip-hop, rock and more, and capture a distinctive sense of authenticity in his lyricism.<\/p>\n
Capturing themes of individuality, resilience and defiance, the track was written by Kid Bookie \u2013 real name Tyronne Buddy-Lee Ike Hill \u2013 and named after the actor, author and creative before she agreed to collaborate.<\/p>\n
After reaching out on social media to McGowan, who was taking a step back from the public eye and living in the jungle at the time, the two came together in a studio in London, with the best-selling author contributing guest vocals. The end result, they tell NME<\/em>, is a powerful message of resistance, encouraging people to stand up to social oppression and be loyal to their own path.<\/p>\n\u201cI wanted people to know that they were brave, and that it\u2019s OK to smash things because you make a mess and when it gets cleaned up, it\u2019s better,\u201d McGowan told us. \u201cI wanted this song to feel like freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n
