Created with the help of the industries most in demand production houses such as Fraser T Smith, SX, Nathan Retro, TMS, Dawood, Wayne Hector and Alf Millar, the album is sonic manifestation of Dappy’s personality.
Album opener and next single ‘Good Intentions’ (released September 24th) is beautiful, haunting ballad showcasing his superlative vocals and knowing lyrics. ‘Bring It Home’ is a knockdown dance floor smash.
‘Come With Me’ featuring Margs and producers Retro & Dawood (a single to be released on August 12th) is a cool slice of electro pop/dance about enjoying a night out, meeting girls and partying. Whilst ‘Yin & Yang’ adds final blow of pop brilliance with its standout infectious chorus, 'I’m looking for Miss Ride or Die.'
Dappy sold over a million albums as part of dynamite trio N-Dubz and 2012 will see him tour the UK after being dubbed a ‘livewire performer’ by The Independent at a recent show.
