F U Right is taken from East-Londoner Dele’s EP Coming To Age.  The track is steamy and seductive and gives us an insight in to what the 23-year-old singer is prepared to do to his girlfriend. Dele sounds a bit like R Kelly. This is the kind of track that Kelly would have released perhaps in the early noughties. I can really hear him singing this. But I really like this track and Dele is easy on the eye. Yep it definitely []
