Song of the Week: Ed Sheeran – The A Team (True Tiger Remix)

This is one of those matches that should not work.  Smoother than silk R&B/Folk of Ed Sheeran mixed with bass heavy, gritty DubStep from True Tiger.  However, like peanut butter and jam, the two compliment each other so well.

The slow tempo of the dub compliments Ed’s vocals which are chopped and thrown about all over the bass heavy and industrial sounds.  This is Dubstep, void of aggression and full of colour.

My only one complaint is it is far too short.  You just get in to it, the mix of sounds exploding in your headphones and then… “Angels to die… die… die…” the fade comes and your left checking your wireless router to make sure you internet connection didn’t just fail!  A great song, over way too soon.

This is one of those songs I thought could never been reworked/remixed.  The boys over a True Tiger have done a masterful job and once again I am proved wrong.

It gets it’s full release in June, so make sure you go out and support great British music

Song of the Week: The A Team

Ed Sheeran – The A Team

From an Ed Sheeran gig to Ed Sheeran’s music for song of the week, for what in my opinion is his best record to date.

The origin of the song, about a girl addicted to drugs, is touching.  It was written about a girl Ed met while doing charity work not too long ago.  Apparently, upon hearing her story he was so moved he to write about it; the result is a beautiful, tender and at times heartbreaking record.

The song is taken from The Loose Change EP, which you can download (or buy… yes people still by CDs) from his webiste.
