Release Notes:
Sadly, Jamie T hasn't tapped into the spirit of '90s reggae duo Chaka
Demus & Pliers here - the second trailer from his upcoming Kings And
Queens album is more of his usual boisterous indie-rap. However, we're
happy to report that this is the only disappointment on 'Chaka Demus',
which carries on where his last single 'Sticks 'N' Stones' left off.
"A lot of people around here lost the whites of their eyes," he sings
on the track's joyous pop chorus, before adding the intriguing refrain:
"See the lust inside your heart and I don't want to touch the sky." The
rest of the track veers between frantic, politicised raps ("Two world
wars and one World Cup, screamed by the desperate divided crutch") and
scruffy guitar jangling, but there's also a newly spruced-up melodic
edge - check out the "woo-hoo-hoo" backing vocals - that makes it
worthy of mainstream attention.
