Impact date: October 18

We say

Already known for his remix, production and writing work, Starsmith strikes out on his own with this stellar debut solo single, out next month on Neon Gold. His best-known collaboration to-date was with Ellie Goudling on her No 1 album, Lights, co-writing five of the tracks and producing most of them. He has more recently worked with Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole on their new albums. This retro disco stomper (built around a sample of The Ritchie Family's Give Me A Break), marks the start of his solo career and has gained radio support from Annie Mac and Fearne Cotton at Radio 1 as well as Steve Smart at Kiss and Hed Kandi. The double A-side (with Knuckleduster) sets things up nicely for Starsmith's debut album, which will come out on Island spring 2011. Video.
