But that's just what Blood Diamonds, aka Canadian producer Mike Tucker, has achieved with Phone Sex. This isn't the sort of dirrty RnB the title may insinuate, but a sunshine infused slice of electro-dance. Said drums provide a tropical air, perfect for lazy days on the beach.
The draw for many will be the unmistakeable, girlish vocals of fellow Canadian Grimes. Her voice adds a real dreamy quality, even if the "Hey Daddy" melody bares a striking resemblance to the Vengaboys. Fans of Grimes looking for a summer anthem beyond her excellent album 'Visions' will find much to enjoy here.
