All of Dizzee's recent big hits *almost* do it for me, but not quite - I wonder if they're the kind of thing that unlock under the right circumstances (i.e. on the dancefloor). This one has a very early 90s sound, the female vocals kind of make this into a frothy day-glo Soul II Soul track for me
I agree with Frank on basshunter - I want to like it but can't quite
Whereas with Example I think the exact opposite of Frank: I would quite like were it not for the rapping.
Jade lost me with the "ominous" synth intro.
Jordin - part of me likes the attempt to recontextualize the song, but mmm no, does nothing for me. Just another C-list singer trying to booststrap themselves into the pop charts.
I guess I'll tick Dizzee since I'm feeling generous.
