Holiday – Dizzee Rascal feat. Chrome (Calvin Harris)

I’ve been looking at the potential summertime hits which we will remember this summer by and this is a serious contender. Remember “Dance Wiv Me” when Dizzee Rascal first came together with Calvin Harris? Well, Think bigger! Much Bigger! We’re talking about crossing the success of Calvin Harris’ “I’m not alone” with Dizzee’s “Bonkers” then you might come close. The song is produced by Calvin Harris and features Chrome.

The song was first played on Radio 1 as Zane Lowe’s record of the week on June 30th 2009 although isn’t actually released until some time in August.

It starts off with a typical Calvin Harris melody from which you can almost hear the resemblance with “I’m not alone” along with some classic Dizzee Rascal style singing over the top.

The chorus is catchy and summery. It’s musically clever, I’d personally go way back and compare it to “Welcome to Miami” by Will Smith but a bit more dense in features.

The ending I think will be the part which everyone in a club will know is coming and raise their hands in the air for. The song changes and breaks down completely, the tempo rises and it simplifies into Calvin’s take on Euphoric Trance. This is seriously the signature part in terms of clubs!

Want to hear it? I’m sure you do, but as I’ve mentioned it’s not out until August! I recommend typing it into YouTube and clicking through them, although it’s heavily policed at the moment with the track’s being removed there are a few breaking through. If you can’t be doing with this, This is going to get massive playtime on Radio 1, so keep listening!
