New single from Duke Dumont called "The Giver (Reprise)", which is the re-worked/vocal version of "The Giver" released in 2012. It was chosen as the Hottest Record on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show today and you can listen to the interview, along the premiere of the song, here. Available for pre-order. Out on June 21 in the UK. |

I loved "The Giver" back in 2012. It sounded mysterious and fresh which are qualities this "reprise" definitely lacks. The price of corporate breakthrough, I guess.

I loved all his other singles, but this is really boring.

I wanted to listen to both versions before I give an opinion and, after doing this, I have to agree with Adam. Although I like both of them, I prefer the original one, which takes the track to another level and the new version doesn't for me. Also, when Duke Dumont tweeted that the new one was the vocal version, I thought the original was an instrumental song  |

I don't like being disappointed by a Duke Dumont track, and yet I have been. :(

Heard this song so much recently! It's a lot less commercial than his other singles though.
