Single Review: Sigma ft. Labrinth - Higher
There is a very detailed formula for commercial drum and bass, which is as follows: tweak the instrumental from a previous song if chart success was attained, substitute another singer who had a number one album four years ago, send it to Capital FM.
‘Higher’ offers nothing new. Getting a slightly faded pop act who can’t sell on their own, lyrics about ‘love’ and getting ‘higher’, and drum and bass breaks stolen from DJ Fresh’s 2009 trash-bin. Generally speaking, it’s not all bad because as a pop song it’s bearable. As a dance track, however, it’s just libellous.
