I was a bit underwhelmed when I first heard this but it will probably grow on me

New version with Lethal Bizzle, out in September:

 

I prefer the original but the Lethal Bizzle version is good too, not sure it will do a 'Tsunami' though :(

Good move for 3Beat to rent-a-rapper on this, as it's far too late to release the instrumental and expect it to do well.

 

I think this'll chart similarly to 'Dr. Who' from earlier this year, as both songs follow the 'put grime rapper on club record from ages ago' formula. It should at least go top 40 because of his fanbase.

how many aborted releases has this had ??? :lol:

 

the addition of the rap seems a little desperate~

I think it was meant to be released in January, then it was pushed back to April, then it was pushed back to July, and now September :rofl: The 'Flute' campaign has been a disaster tbh, I can't believe they're still trying to make it a hit single. Could've gone top 10 off the back of Animals but now is far too late, even with the rap, it'll only spend 1 week top 40

I love the track,but the video reminded me of Skrillex video " Bangarang "

Pushed back yet again to October 19th.

The release strategy for this is just all over the place. Are 3Beat just persistently waiting in hope that a station will pick this up?

oh gosh just release the thing already :drama: there's no chance of this being a decent sized hit now surely? a 32-78-OUT chart run is probably the best it can do now and that's only because of Lethal B's fanbase.

Seriously :drama:

 

What is the point, just cancel it already!! Though it could still chart top 40 I hope it flops!

Ready for it? .... Well, it's been pushed back AGAIN to November 23rd :rofl:

OMG!!! :rofl:

 

I only just got round to listening to this, is the fact it sounds so much like 'Animals' and 'Tsunami' spliced together intentional?

Well it was originally released a few months after Animals/Tsunami blew up so I'd say yes it was basically a cash-in on the success of those songs. I don't get why they're still bothering with this song though, it's time had been and gone months ago. :lol:

Quite possibly, it was beginning to look like the next sub-genre dance craze (add Guetta's Shot Me Down in the mix too).

Surely the best thing to do with this is to release it the week after the Xmas chart? (As in, when there'll be ZERO other new entries)
