Dizzee Rascal has joined forces with Robbie Williams on his forthcoming single Goin' Crazy.

 

The track will debut on 10 May at 8.15am (BST) on some UK radio stations including BBC Radio 1.

 

The video, which features scenes of the pair riding scooters, will premiere on the same day at 9am.

 

Dizzee Rascal has announced that the title of his fifth album will be The Fifth. It's due for release later on in the year.

 

Dizzee Rascal recently posted the first track from his forthcoming new album online.

 

The song, H Town, features rappers Bun-B and Trae The Truth. Produced by A-Trak, it first debuted on Dizzee Rascal's Dirtee TV The Mixtape Vol 2 earlier this year.

 

The trio recently shot a video for the track in Houston.

 

In November, it was reported that Radio 1 had dropped Robbie Williams from its playlist.

 

A spokesman for the station said: "Each track is considered for the playlist based on its musical merit and whether it is right for our target audience, with decisions made on a case-by-case basis."

 

Dizzee Rascal is set to support Muse on their forthcoming summer dates starting in Coventry on 22 May.

I wonder if this song will get playlisted on Radio 1.
Interesting, I wonder what this is gonna sound like
Kinda reminds me of Robbie's 'Candy' a bit. I think this is more of a grower, but the collaboration works very well!

Radio 1 premiered this on Grimmys show earlier and have now played it in the next show after that - should be blisted next week.

 

Why has Dizzee not seen the benefits of an early release yet? His last single went top 10 with an OA/OS release - why not this, could have went top 10 because they are big names then kept stable as airplay has been good on r1 so far. Suppose though im not sure when he has the video set to be released?! Think its been filmed though?

Actually think I like this. I can see it grating on me fairly quickly, before getting back into it and then it grating again etc. But not as bad as I thought it would be. 'Bassline Junkie' was atrocious so it was never going to be difficult to top that, really.
Meh, far too much Robbie for my liking. Should do well though, the fanbases are certainly there to ensure it debuts highly.
Really love this song. Definitely has 'summer anthem' all over it and the video's really funny! Top 5 for this at least, surely?

I think it's because his label expect this to be a hit, but they never expected Bassline Junkie to do anything (and probably would've held it back if they knew how big it'd be).

I don't hate it. Pretty catchy and there isn't too much Dizzee (not that I'm normally a big Robbie fan either but 'Candy' is a tune). Could do with a less awful melody though.
I like this! It's far more accessible than ANY of his recently singles (including "Bassline Junkie", "Shout", "Dirtee Disco" etc.) - I'd say it's his most accessible since "Dance Wiv Me", even! :o Right now, I'd say it's a surefire #1 (and a million times better than the dirge that was called "Bassline Junkie").
Am I the only one who dislikes it then? :lol: Oh well.
