I Luv U - Dizzee Rascal

Why was this song so exciting? It's because it's a moment. It's a mixture of weird sounds that sound as if they should clash, but which amalgamate to make a thrilling pulsating melody. It's the sound of someone articulating a relationship, rather than claiming they are some sort of super-shagger. It's the jealousy and insecurity in Dizzee's words, and the frustration in the female hook. Some say Dizzee has gone pop. Not in my book. He is still a reflection of his situation. It's just he is a superstar now...
