Take Me Back Tinchy Stryder |
| The formerly gritty and underground genre of Grime, a distinctively British distant cousin of hip-hop, dancehall and garage, is experiencing a huge transformation, moving from its dark East London street roots towards a glossier, radio-friendlier sound. First signs were given by Dizzee Rascal teaming up with Calvin Harris in their recent summer smash "Dance Wiv Me"; followed by Wiley's courting Mark Ronson and bordering novelty record levels in some of his latest offerings. Now, the nicknamed Prince of Grime, Tinchy Stryder, is taking the next step in the process. After recent high-profile collaborations with Craig David and leftfield Brooklyn arties Gang Gang Dance; Stryder seems ready to hit big time with "Take Me back", the first taster from his forthcoming second album. The Ghanaian origin artist convinced rising UK urban star Taio Cruz to feature on vocals; toyed with the Autotune software for that popular "cheesy-rap" effect and threw some electro touches and a rather commercial beat in, bringing a flavour of Eurodance from the Nineties back to mind. ~Roberto González~ Copyright © Shazam Entertainment Limited 2009.
