Shazam’s Tag Of The Day! Dizzee Rascal ‘Holiday’
Dizzee Rascal Feat. Chrome – Holiday (Dirtee Stank)
After the success of the electro tinged ‘Dance Wiv Me’ and the ravetastic ‘Bonkers’, it should come as no surprise that Dizzee Rascal’s latest single is yet another mish-mash of 3am trance flavours and cockney tinged R&B rhymes. Debuted on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury two weeks ago in front of 80,000 festival goers, ‘Holiday’ is already being touted as a future number 1 – a fact supported by its presence as ‘Hottest Record In The World’ on Zane Lowe’s tastemaking Radio 1 show.
Featuring grinding peppy electro beats, cheeky lady loving lyrics and an almighty big room house crescendo that provides an almost guaranteed hands in the air moment; ‘Holiday’ is an unquestionably fun record and miles away from the inner city paranoia of his first album, ‘Boy In Da Corner’. Production duties are taken care of once again by lanky Scottish beatsmith Calvin Harris, a man whose knob twiddling skills have earned him two UK number ones in the last nine months.
With Black Eyed Peas dominating the world’s charts with their own brand of energy charged dance music and Kelly Rowland experiencing some of her biggest success after collaborating with commercial house star David Guetta, it looks as though Dizzee’s flirtations with glow stick infused sounds are set to consolidate him as the UK’s premier urban music talent.
