Production
legend, scene stealer and one time MERCURY
MUSIC PRIZE nominee MJ COLE
hooks up with Atlantic Records latest signing and one of the freshest vocal and
song writing talents in the country, DIGGA,
for what is set to be a HUGE radio and club smash – GOTTA HAVE IT!
MJ COLE layers his distinctly
piercing strings with DIGGA’S soft
but overtly masculine tones to weave a tale of unrequited love with a twist.
Couple that with the infectious bassline provided by this production wizard and
the pair are definitely sitting on a potential hit!
At the age
of 24 Matt Coleman better known as MJ
COLE became one of the first artists to crossover from the burgeoning UK
Garage scene to mainstream success. Grounded in a culture obsessed with
authenticity, he was almost unique in simultaneously drawing praise from his
lesser-known peers as easily as the critics (the album, ‘SINCERE' was nominated for the MERCURY MUSIC PRIZE) and the record-buying masses (two top ten
singles with ‘SINCERE' and ‘CRAZY LOVE'). The album was certified
silver in the UK
alone, and a MOBO award for Best
Producer cemented Matt's reputation.
His
list of remix credits are as star studded as any, from MARIAH CAREY, ROOTS MANUVA,
DIDO, NITIN SAWNEY, DE LA SOUL
and LAMB he’s been one of the most
sought after producers for the last ten years.
GOTTA HAVE IT is the first single
from the forthcoming as yet untitled album and teams MJ up with rising star DIGGA, the man behind huge internet hit
BROKEN who has recently featured on
the massive CHASE & STATUS album
MORE THAN A LOT.
Along
with the firing original version GOTTA
HAVE also features a further six remixes from the likes of ILL BLU, MICKY SLIM, PENFOLD, CONTROL S, EPYDEMIX and MJ’s very own FUNKY
DUBB taking DIGGA’s vocal in a
number of inspired directions.
