Chase & Status feat. Liam Bailey - Blind Faith
Heading out this weekend? Crack this bad boy on then.
Seriously. Dance wizards Chase & Status have done it again with an awesome dub-step inspired track to get you hyped up for the weekend. In fact, screw the weekend - just put it on now.
Bailey's vocal in the verses provide a dark, almost mournful sound. This builds towards the two-step, ecstatic chorus using a sample by Loleatta Holloway. It's all energetically produced - put this on and try not to dance. It's an absolute winner. The video evokes nostalgia for the rave days of the early '90s, but Blind Faith is very much a modern dance classic.
Also, go and listen to End Credits which features Plan B - another shining example of the duo's talents.
Finally, Liam Bailey's solo work is worth a listen - he's reminiscent of a modern Bob Marley meets Amy Winehouse. Check out You Better Leave Me.
