Today sees the latest release from Matt Nash with his brand new song, ‘Can’t Get My Head’. This is the follow-up to last month's ‘Invincible’.

Nash has gone for a more dubstep vibe on this one appealing to the opposite side of the spectrum of the dance-floor audience. The pace of the song is slower than usual allowing for the dubstep to be exploited to its full effect, whilst also possessing some slick beats. This record demonstrates the diversity of the youngster who continues to show promise and potential. The track is short and sharp at under 3mins in length, with the first 45secs almost serving as an introduction with simply vocals and effects. This then transforms into a cool, calm, dubstep ambiance until the tempo is picked up slightly before reaching an abrupt climax. There is no doubt this track is current and there is a definite market audience for a song of this breed, but whilst it is heartfelt and passionate, it possibly lacks a catchy, killer chorus. Despite this, there is positive potential there and the dubstep vibe shows a sound basis to build upon.

South London’s very own MC, Master Shortie has recently distributed his latest single, ‘Gravity’, a follow up to singles ‘Social Groups’ and ‘Always Like This’ released in the summer of this year. This is the latest material from the 22 year-old since debut album A.D.H.D. back in 2009, with all three tracks set to be make an appearance on his new mixtape produced by DJ Benzi titled ‘Studying Abroad’.

‘Gravity’ features Suffolk’s very own Ed Sheeran, the man who recently gate-crashed the charts with hit single ‘The A-Team’. This collaboration is an exciting link-up for the increasingly impressive founder of the Odd One Out record label, and it follows his recent link up with Bombay Bicycle Club on the track, ‘Always Like This’.

There is more of a mainstream feeling to ‘Gravity’ in comparison with the Master Shortie of two years ago. The boy from London town has grown up and moved with the times a bit more with this one. The influence of Ed Sheeran on the track has clearly contributed to this different direction with a more pop, club and dub type feel. However, Shortie’s lyrical style remains very similar to what he has always been accustomed to, and one to which the rapper has become synonymous with. The chorus is soulful and radio-friendly, and bound to fetch some serious airplay without doubt, so lookout for this one! Check it out below:
