Dov’è finito Craig David, quello che più di 10 anni fa ci regalava pezzoni del calibro di Seven Days o What’s your flava? Nel corso del tempo, l’artista britannico si è molto dedicato alla palestra, pompandosi in modo abnorme, ha campato con ospitate varie ed eventuali (una su tutte, la triste partecipazione all’ultimo matrimonio farsa di Valeria Marini) e fondamentalmente è rimasto piuttosto in disparte, nascondendo quello che di fatto è uno dei maggiori talenti soul che la musica britannica abbia mai conosciuto.
Tuttavia, qualche giorno fa su Spotify e su Youtube è finalmente riapparso del materiale che ci fa ben sperare in un suo ritorno in grande stile: il pezzo in questione si chiama When the Bassline Drops e, nonostante non se lo sia cagato praticamente nessuno, è una canzone drum ‘n bass molto valida che riporta Craig David alle sue origini, profondamente legate al garage.
Qui sotto potete ascoltare il pezzo e leggere il testo con relativa traduzione.

Testo
Yeah I see this, feels good around here
(Craig David)
All my ladies
(Big Narstie)
It’s about to go down
(Ladies)
That garage sound
[Verse 1: Craig David]
This is for my ravers, gettin’ faded, faded
This is for my ravers, I know you waited, waited (bounce)
This one’s goin’ out, to all my people out there
Turn your speakers up, cause right now we’re goin’ in
Bringing you them vibes, ready for the weekend
Don’t matter where you are as long as you’re here with me
[Pre-Chorus: Craig David]
You have never heard about nothin’ like this
Better listen up otherwise you’re gonna miss
And I ain’t even gassin’ you
You have never heard about nothin’ like this
Better listen up otherwise you’re gonna miss
When the bassline drops you know what to do
When the bassline drops you know what to do
[Chorus: Craig David]
(Goin’ out to all of my DJ’s)
all on your doot (yeah) all over you
All on your (doot) yeah
(Sounds of the raving crew)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin’ out to all of my DJ’s)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Sounds of the raving crew)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin’ out to all of my DJ’s)
[Verse 2: Big Narstie]
Bass, fill a bad girl like a sandwich
2 bottle of mo’ we still standing
This one’s out to the Charlie Brown
I’m lovin’ it, lovin’ it, old school anthems
Smellin’ like cocoa, butter and Versace blue jeans
Ben Sherman top with blue jeans
Goin’ in, living my movie
Bentekkers, I’ma steppers
It was art how I dodged that badness
In the corner smoking the maddest, BDL
ASBO Britain, the sound of the streets comin’ through your aeriel
(Craig David), Big Narstie, all over your
[Chorus: Craig David]
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin’ out to all of my DJ’s)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Sounds of the raving crew)
[Pre-Chorus: Craig David]
You have never heard about nothin’ like this
Better listen up otherwise you’re gonna miss
And I ain’t even gassin’ you
You have never heard about nothin’ like this
Better listen up otherwise you’re gonna miss
When the bassline drops you know what to do
When the bassline drops you know what to do
(Report to the dance floor)
[Chorus: Craig David]
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin’ out to all of my DJ’s)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Sounds of the raving crew)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Goin’ out to all of my DJ’s)
All on your (doot) yeah, all over your (doot)
All on your (doot) yeah
(Sounds of the raving crew)
