Biography

English MC Tinie Tempah (Patrick Chukwuem Okogwu, Jr.) hails from South London. He was in his teens when he issued his first single, “Wifey,” which packed sweetened swagger and became a hit in the underground. Tinie subsequently established the Disturbing London (aka DL) label and released 2007’s Hood Economics: Room 147: The 80 Minute Course, a mixtape featuring drop-ins from Chipmunk and DVA. The Parlophone label took note and signed the rapper, whose 2010 singles "Pass Out" and "Frisky" topped various singles charts in the U.K. The tracks led to The Disc-Overy, Tinie's proper debut album, issued later in the year. In 2011, he embarked on a U.K. arena tour, and later that year released two new singles "Like It or Love It" featuring Wretch32 & J. Cole, and "Lucky C**t," which featured Big Sean. He also collaborated with Calvin Harris on the smash hit single "Drinking from the Bottle" in 2013 and was included on Harris' album 18 Months. In mid-2013, he announced details of his long-awaited sophomore album, Demonstration. Two singles ("Trampoline" featuring 2 Chainz and "Children of the Sun" featuring John Martin) were released and gave audiences a glimpse of his future material. - iTunes

Labrinth is one of the best, most forward-thinking young producers in the UK at the moment, and this is decent enough, but nowhere near his best productions. I hope he doesn't fall deeper into the Calvin Harris trap.

Biography

Featuring the anthemic songwriting of Ryan Tedder, OneRepublic rose to prominence in 2007, when "Apologize" began its reign as the most popular digital download in American history. Although the song proved to be a quick success, OneRepublic had spent five years touring the musical minor leagues before its release, with Tedder splitting his time between the band's work and production gigs for other artists. Tedder and Zach Filkins formed the band in 2002 and relocated to Los Angeles shortly thereafter, adding keyboardist Drew Brown, bassist/cellist Brent Kutzle, and drummer Eddie Fisher to the lineup in the process. OneRepublic then signed with Sony BMG's Columbia label in 2003; three years later, however, the bandmates returned from a performance at Coachella to find themselves dropped from Columbia's roster.

 

Nevertheless, OneRepublic's popularity continued to soar on MySpace, and Tedder helped raise the group's profile by penning songs for artists like Blake Lewis and Hilary Duff. Hip-hop producer Timbaland (with whom Tedder had already worked for several years) took notice of the group's audience and signed OneRepublic to his own Mosley Music Group, a joint venture with Interscope Records. Timbaland also remixed one of the group's most promising tracks, "Apologize," and included it on his own album, 2007's Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song quickly became a platinum-selling single in many countries, breaking airplay records in the U.K. and selling an unprecedented 4.3 million digital downloads in America alone.

 

Later that year, OneRepublic stepped out on their own with Dreaming Out Loud, a debut album filled with piano-fueled songwriting and pop/rock melodies. The album quickly went gold, and "Apologize" continued to top the singles charts in multiple countries. Another Tedder-penned track, Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love," experienced similar success at the same time, thus making Tedder one of the year's most celebrated songwriters. OneRepublic began writing songs for a second album in 2008, and the group later decamped to Colorado Springs to avoid outside distractions. Although initially planned for a summer release, Waking Up wasn't completed until September 2009. "All the Right Moves," the album's lead single, was released to radio that same month, while the entire album followed in November. In 2013, OneRepublic returned with its third studio album, Native, featuring the singles, "Feel Again" and "If I Lose Myself."

Still loving this

 

"goes and hides, grabs my coat"

I would be amazing if 'Lover Not a Fighter' could manage a top 10 peak, but it will probably be top 15 at best! I think it's my favourite Tinie single from this era.

I still somehow am not tired of this at all! Counting Stars. :heart:

 

-x-

 

Also, I re-listened to Apologize yesterday for the first time in a couple of years and it still sounds amazing. :wub:

Animals has had such a weird chart run .

 

This era hasn't been as successful for tinie, not surprising given the quality of discovery compared to the disappointing follow up.

Biography

Already dubbed “the perfect pop package” by teen press and mentioned in the same comparative breath as Conor Maynard, One Direction’s Niall Horan and global phenomenon Justin Bieber, it seems like 18-year-old Elyar Fox was always destined to be a popstar. With his debut single on the horizon and an album on the cards for 2014, it looks like the stars are about to align. - Facebook

(32) OneRepublic-If I Lose Myself.

 

This is one few remixes that makes the song better in my opinion maybe the song will do better the 2nd time around

I still somehow am not tired of this at all! Counting Stars. :heart:

 

Agreed. I've never encountered a song with such a slow burn rate, considering its massive airplay and exposure. Well, maybe Rolling In The Deep.

Good to see this is making a quick descent from the top 40!
