He gets all the big name collaborators

Question: does the new, Calvin Harris-produced Dizzee Rascal single, ‘Dance Wiv Me’ just sound like a Calvin Harris song with Dizzee Rascal rapping over the top?

Answer at the 45 second mark.



Ah, those ‘trademark’ synths.

We sat listening to this song in someone’s office in London (how ‘media’) about two months ago and had a bit of a giggle at its ‘familiar’ stylings. Since then the track has grown on us considerably, like a sort of cheeky, playa tale-based rash. The best bits are the chorus and the part where Dizzee goes on about wanting to be “behind your backbone” - so far the only reference he’s made to his shady past as a backstreet chiropractor.

Fingers crossed this is the hit that ‘Stand Up Tall’ fucking well should have been.
