(From some upcoming Calvin Harris album; 2019)
David Zowie's House Every Weekend's reign on top was long like Calvin Harris' legs, but it's time we all accept that Giant has toppled Zowie's one moment of glory from its perch as the best ASOS Get The Look-House anthem of the 2010s. Youz see Calvin, Jimmy? The big wee bugger has got a funnel up his arse and a breeze between his ears, but in the past 12 months he's produced a banger for Donae'o, made Sam Smith listenable, and justified the existence of a Don't Flop rappa-ternt-sanga who's the Jihadi Jordan equivalent of Plan B meets Paul Shane.
True story, Giant's ten second crescendo from 3:09 to 3:19 never fails to make me wanna triumphantly pop off semi-automatic weapons into the sky like Stitches.
And then when the trumpet parps back up for the final chorus it's bare euphoric Boyz-on-RTE vybz.
One luv 2 Stephen Gately. Goodbye, Norma Jean...
this post got me wondering where the hell Shift K3Y is at. "Beep Beep" was/is my shit!
ReplyDeleteLike This got slept on, imho.
ReplyDeleteI liked that one but Beep Beep sounded like The-Dream if he was a white British kid. House music usually only works for me with vocals/good songcraft.
DeleteThis post speaks to me on multiple levels
