Strong Again

N-Dubz

AATW

WE SAY

We first featured N-Dubz back in 2007, when they were with Polydor. At the time we wrote that they had "slick urban and pop elements blended together to secure an even wider following". But even we were taken by surprise to learn that, in the intervening period, they've become of one Britain's most successful urban/pop acts. Now signed to All Around The World, their debut album has managed to go platinum in the UK since its release last November, their last single 'Papa Can You Hear Me' went Top 20 and they're about to start their first tour of O2 Academy venues around the country, which is selling well. An indication of their crossover success is their current place on R1's A-list. Credit to the label and Shalit Global for a job well-done. JF London gig: April 18, Shepherd's Bush Empire W12
