Fazer debuts ‘Killer’ and gets a GloPop review

As member of N-Dubz, it was bound to happen at some point, for Fazer to follow into the footsteps of colleagues Dappy and Tulisa and release his very first solo single ‘Killer’.

He’s been rather busy in the studio, writing tracks for other artists (incl. ex-girlfriend and colleague Tulisa), taking his time but fans will be pleased to hear Fazer’s completely set for the release of ‘Killer’ on August 26.

‘Killer’ itself sounds like a mix of Taio Cruz and the genre DubStep, making it sound very current for the charts, yet  the questions remains whether it will be enough to follow into the footsteps of ‘Number One’ and ‘Young’ to reach the number 1 spot in the charts. While the track itself is worked out cleverly, on a first listen we get the impression there’s that catchy hook missing, which is quite necessary for an upbeat track. The  track is building towards a bang, which doesn’t seem to happen.

Having said that, give it a bunch of good remixes, and a lot of radio airplay and the chances are high solo Fazer might give each N-Dubz member its first UK number one hit to fall back on. In reality however, three out of three is very unlikely. Stick to song writing and producing Fazer.

‘Killer’ is out on August 26 and available via pre-order.

Tulisa kicks off the summer

Tulisa, once in a not so distant past member of London based group N-Dubz and the reigning X Factor Judge champion, has been through quite a turbulent week. Earlier in the week a rather unpleasant video was leaked on the internet, which showed footage of the star and an ex-boyfriend being intimate. After having apologized publicly, even though she didn’t do anything wrong, the singer revealed the details for her very first debut single.

Over the weekend, Tulisa, premiered the video for her very own debut single ”Young”, which is set to be released May 7th.  If you are looking for the perfect summer tune, don’t look any further, Tulisa has it all in the bag! It’s a big club track, quite similar to the Rihanna’s smash hit ”We Found Love” ft Calvin Harris and therefore has all the right ingredients to become the perfect summer anthem of 2012. The lyrics ”Forgive for what I have Done… we are we are we’re young” couldn’t be more up to date to what the singer has just been through recently. Leaving that aside it’s a nice summer anthem for youngsters and dance music lovers. And believe it or not, ever since the track has surfaced,  the sun has been shining full on here in the UK!  Thank you dear Tulisa!

The video for the track, was recorded in Miami, and is also breathtaking, the singer looks absolutely gorgeous.

Tulisa is the second bandmember to release solo material since the group has split up. Her cousin Dappy, has since released the number 1 hit single ‘No Regrets’ and ‘Rockstar’ ft Brian May. 3rd member Frazer is currently concentrating on writing songs for other artists and has been closely involved in making the album of Tulisa.

”We are Young” will be released May 7th, via iTunes.

 

 

One to Watch: Dappy – Rockstar ft Brian May

While X Factor judge/cousin and fellow band member Tulisa is having trouble completing her album, Dappy is ready to release his 2nd solo single ‘Rock star’.

The lead singer of N-Dubz, who’s known for wearing ‘’eye-catching’’ hat-wear is teaming up with Queen Guitarist Brian May for the follow up of UK number one ‘’No Regrets’’.

Credit to Dappy for writing ‘’Rockstar’’ but we can’t help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the general similar production of ‘’No Regrets’’. We’re a bit indifferent towards the new single, as it misses a real punch. We would have loved to see this be heavier and rockier, especially when you’re accompanied with the honouree Brian May, and perhaps fully rapped rather than the rap and singing. But hey with an overdose on radio airplay, we think this might grow on us and eventually sweep us off our feet.

‘’Rock star’’ ft Brian May is available for download on iTunes February 26th or pre-ordered here http://bit.ly/dappy-rockstar
