Sigma ft. Labrinth

3 Beat Productions

WE SAY

With two BRIT Award nominations in the Best Single and Best Video categories, it’s safe to say the last year has been hugely successful for Sigma. After helping Paloma Faith achieve her first-ever UK No.1 with Changing, a former Record Of The Day last summer, the duo return with this anthemic follow-up and enlist the vocals of Labrinth to help drive this swiftly to chart glory once more. They’ve shifted over a million singles from just two releases so far in this country but are now in demand across the rest of the world too. There are major summer festival appearances to come plus confirmed global tour dates in the next few months, rounding off with a London gig at Electric Brixton on April 18. Then comes the album Life later in the year. Taking conventional drum and bass to a whole new melodic level once more, the pounding rhythms and menacing intro rapidly makes way for another slick vocal and hands-aloft chorus. Track Of The Day at Radio 1 today, it's precision-made for maximum enjoyment. We think you’ve got that hat-trick of instant No.1 hits in the bag, chaps.
