The official video for Dizzee Rascal's upcoming single 'Holiday' premiered earlier today on Channel 4;
If this ain't another number 1, I would be very very surprised. Seriously, can Dizzee do anything wrong?
I'm looking forward to "Tongue N Cheek" so much (21st of September is the date)! For starters, it’s going undoubtedly to be the most upbeat album Dizzee has ever made, frankly, unlike some others, I don't care if it's grime or not from Dizzee anymore. Dizzee is Dizzee, he sounds just as good on almost everything and he has already stated that "Tongue N Cheek" is a party album – that it’s naughty and nice, offering something for everyone, not grime. Here's the updated tracklist taken from HMV (where u also can pre-order the album):
2. 'Road Rage'
3. 'Dance Wiv Me' ft. Chrome & Calvin Harris
4. 'Freaky Freaky'
5. 'Can't Tek No More' (prod. by Shy FX)
6. 'Chillin' Wiv Da Man Dem'
7. 'Dirtee Cash'
8. 'Money Money Money'
9. 'Leisure'
10. 'Holiday' ft. Chrome (prod. by Calvin Harris)
As well as the three previous singles, there’s 'Road Rage'; a thumping house track that has been a regular fixture of Dizzee’s live sets throughout 2009, whilst 'Dirtee Cash' which features a sample of the classic Stevie V tune, finds Dizzee warning people of the dangers of spending all their money at once and the chores of everyday life.
Shy FX, (who collaborated with Dizzee on 'Da Feelin' from the previous album "Maths and English") also adds production duties to the carnival-esque, summertime anthem of 'Can’t Tek No More'.
However, the track that I'm actually looking forward to the most, with a bit of fear, is 'Chillin Wiv Da Man Dem' which is probably Dizzee’s biggest departure from his old grimy self. It’s actually a classic, smooth-sounding r'n'b-tune reminiscent of Tupac or Snoop Dogg. Can be either very good or a total train wreck like 'Holiday Lover'. Uh never been a fan of Prince other than the standing joke of Family Guy.
And yeah, usually I hate to post old shit but I re-discovered this little pearl earlier this week and I don't think that I've posted it before, so whatevez. It's Johan and Etienne at their best!
