World beginning to Feel the Love for D 'n' B

Drum and Bass has been rippling its distinct basslines and heavy drumbeats to chart-success for a few years and recently through the likes of DJ Fresh, Flux Pavillion and now Rudimental creating Monster hits as a genre it really has come a long way. Climbing to Number One in the UK just a couple of months ago are Hackney-based quartet Rudimental with their anthemic tune 'Feel the Love'.

The song features the soulful vocals of singer, John Newman, and really is a breath of fresh-air in the way it truly stays faithful to it's genre with the Drum and Bass aspects of the tune the centre-piece of the song, rather than , as many artists are beginning to rely, the vocals. It has all the ingredients to be this years Summer-Smash alongside DJ Fresh's 'The Power' most notably. Yet the song has considerable depth and meaning to it and the structure of it, with the incorporation  of a trumpet-solo gives it a compelling edge, that other Summery tunes designed purely for the 'feel-good factor' don't. But it doesn't create this atmosphere through the lyrics, which are spirited and repetitive, it quite simply creates a mood designed to galvanize the listener.

The video is atmospheric and rejunivating, set in small-town America with several young people as the beat builds they begin to ride around on horses, a sign of human-spirit and freedom and the power and momentum that it's capable of achieving.

Undoubtedly-unorthodox, yet utterly Brilliant.
