Zac Brown on a potential UK chart hit? Yes please :o

Its easy to forget just how FRESH Disclosure and Rudimental were when they first broke through. When songs like Latch, White Noise and Feel The Love were released, they were such a change from the Lady GaGa/David Guetta/Taio Cruz dance-pop that filled the charts at the time (and a massive improvement in my view too). They were ringleaders in a sea-change in British pop alongside the likes of Duke Dumont.

 

Naturally their sound comes across as more identikit two years later. There are subtle changes in both their new material, but not enough to really convince the chart audience. Although, both House and Drum & Bass have been in commercial decline for a while now. Acts like DJ Fresh, Shift K3Y and Duke Dumont are struggling for consistency and Sigma resorted to Glitterball which is much more Pop than D&B.

 

Seemingly the only dance that thrives these days is either Calvin Harris/Guetta/Avicii dance-pop or featureless Kygo or Lost Frequencies house which is a shame.

While I mostly agree, Kygo's 'Firestone' does genuinely stand out for me because it actually has a recognisable melody, as opposed to a load of bland deep house/D&B tracks which just have random notes hit on keyboards.

 

It's really odd to remember how drum & bass was seen as an exciting underground genre until comparatively recently, as opposed to basically a way of Paloma Faith to get a #1 single by taking a crap pop song and putting an extremely standard unchanging D&B drum loop over it - it's all so dull to listen to, when if you listen to the 90s and 00s stuff - Goldie's Timeless, Roni Size/Reprazent's New Forms, right up to Pendulum's Hold Your Colour - it's so much more exciting and interesting. Nowadays it's literally just take a pop artist, record a dull vocal track and put a three-second drum loop over it and you've got an easy #1 hit. It's not D&B anymore, it's tedious pop.

 

I think it wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't for all these recent songs becoming MASSIVE MILLION-SELLING #1S when there's stuff from years ago so much better that's only sold a fraction of it.

Why is 'Like I'm Going To Lose You' all of a sudden climbing a fair bit? Is it 59p? Lovely little song though.

I heard it on Magic (don't ask) this morning if that's contributed?

played on r2 too earlier too :P it's just climbing from radio airplay (the one's that have playlisted it anyway)

Oh thanks! I didn't even realise stations had it playlisted. I thought the chance had been and gone for this song. :lol:
Is it fair to say that you weren't expecting that?

That joke was always going to crop up :lol:

Yesss. After falling to about 680-something early this morning, I'm glad to see this is rising back up. Really hope he gets to push this properly as the next single. The lyrics are really simple, but it's such a beautiful song :wub:
