Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris - "Hype"

[Juan Carlos]

Potentially next release from Calvin Harris, which features Dizzee Rascal. This will be the fourth collaboration between them after the UK #1 hits "Dance Wiv Me" and "Holiday", plus the 18 Months album track "Here 2 China", where Dillon Francis handled the production as well.

The music video has been shot by Emil Nava in Los Angeles.

The track is called "Hype" and it was performed by Dizzee at the Capital's Summertime Ball 2016 last weekend.

This is great. Not here for the faux Calvin Harris on the turntables though lol.

I like this. Definitely sounds like a UK/EU hit too.

this gets the Bangwave seal-of-approval

Sounds like a smash and gives me good/old Calvin nostalgia. The video from the live performance has some cringey moments though.

Out Friday!

ETA: If the single artwork is any indication, I'm thinking this will be credited as Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris.

Oh! I wasn't expecting this to be out so soon, despite Calvin mentioned that he wanted to release it four weeks later after "This Is What You Came For" on his interview with Nick Grimshaw at BBC Radio 1 back in April.

Yeah! I also think that too, unless Calvin wants to be at the bottom this time.

Anyway, don't get me wrong, but I will wait until it hits iTunes and/or Spotify to change the title if the credits go in that way. I mean, the way Calvin talked about the track and how he wanted to record a song with Dizzee again seemed to me that it's going to be a song from him and not viceversa, although there's a slight chance that they made another track together.

ETA: Nevermind. The track has been playlisted by Capital FM this week and it's credited as Dizzee Rascal & Calvin Harris.

The track is out, but it's going to receive its first play in a couple of hours (8am. UK time / 3am. EST) on Capital FM.

This is so good! Hype is a very appropriate title for this. Love it

Fun & catchy track, ofc not something to constantly listen to, but great for occasional listens.

From Music Week/BuzzJack Music Forum:

Six tracks make the Top 75 for the first time, with "Hype" - which is thought to be the first single from Dizzee Rascal's upcoming sixth album, and reunites him with Calvin Harris, eight years after the pair's "Dance Wiv Me" (also featuring Chrome) spent four weeks at No.1 - leading the new intake at No.34 (16,828 sales). It is the 27th Top 75 entry for both men.

Debuts at #34 in the UK, becoming Dizzee's 24th overall Top 40 and Calvin's 26th overall Top 40 there.

Chosen as the Track of the Day on BBC Radio 1. Hope it means that it will be playlisted by this radio station soon.
