GRRR! It's Betty Boo
Grrr! It's Betty Boo is the second album by Betty Boo, released on 12 October 1992 via WEA Records. This album failed to match the success of her debut, "Boomania", stalling at No.62 in the UK Albums Chart. The album did however garner one hit single with "Let Me Take You There", which peaked at No.12 in the UK Singles Chart. Further singles from the album were "I'm On My Way", "Catch Me", "Thing Goin On" and "Hangover". The record is dedicated to her father. The cover art is based on the iconic  package of Tigra cigarettes. After this, Betty Boo retired from the music industry for several years. Critical reception. Writing for "The Guardian" in October 1992, Adam Sweeting thought that the album contained "more than its fair share of garish artificial charm", surmising that although Boo's songs "hang on a thread of absurdity", presenting critics with an easy target, "her kittenish raps – usually about boys and boy-trouble – bristle with winningly daft rhymes". Allmusic's William Ruhlmann noted that "Boo raps through the verses and sings the choruses (...) in an engaging enough manner, but she never threatens to be more  than a cartoon". Speaking to "Q Magazine" in 1994, Madonna made a surprising mention of this album by saying it was "sadly overlooked" and was keen to sign Betty Boo to her new record label, Maverick. Track listing.
