Heartbeat

Wilkinson feat. P Money & Arlissa

RAM / Virgin EMI

WE SAY

You may not know the name yet, but you will definitely recognise previous smashes Take You Higher and the Radio 1 B-listed Need To Know by rising D&B star Wilkinson, who has steadily been making a name for himself ever since winning Best Breakthrough Producer at the National D&B Awards in 2012. Teaming up with grime veteran P Money and Roc Nation's Arlissa for punch-packing new single Heartbeat, Wilkinson's astute A&R ear is strongly in evidence here. In demand internationally from Europe to Australia and the US, Wilkinson has a packed summer of festivals ahead of him, including Secret Garden Party, Global Gathering, Pukkelpop and Bestival. With daytime Radio 1 spins from Sara Cox, support from B.Traits and Mistajam, a playlist addition at Choice FM, sessions for SBTV and Dropout, and TV playlists at MTV Base, MTV Dance and Channel AKA, Heartbeat is shaping up to be another big hitter.
