Just seen this on a music channel so gather it’s now an official release - who's bright idea was this?
Florence & The Machine's cover of Kandi Staton's You've got the love has long-since attained ubiquity as the soundtrack to every commercial, movie trailer and reality-TV montage you care to name. Surely it's already made her, her band, her label and the writers and publishers of the original enough money? Surely? Florence "Lungs" Welch has the most powerful and distinctive voice in Pop today so what was to be gained by pairing her thunderous vocals with the piercing squawks of a professional parakeet inpersonator?
The song was as good as it was ever gonna be without the addition of Dizzie Rascal's shrill, nasal ululation.
Adding Rap doesn't make everything better. This 'Urban' sprawl needs to stop. What next? Is the pope gonna commission media-darling Banksy to "Urban" up the Sistine chapel with his primary school stencilling?
Stop it!
