Since Skream, Benga and Artwork decided to tackle the commercial market with their formation of the trio "Magnetic Man" they have released several chart hits, a few featuring British vocalist Katy B. Benga also produced a single for her, titled "Katy On A Mission".
Being somewhat of a dub-purist, I have to admit my weary and slightly disappointed vibes when these cats began down the more pop-y road. "Perfect Stranger" and "I Need Air" (in my opinion) fall more under the classification of electronic-pop or dance, rather than the dubstep that the three were producing so craftily before their teaming-up. However, credit had to be given with the release of these tracks since they are admittedly huge commercial successes and extremely well produced.
With the last song of the album, and their latest single to be released, the trio have given me new hope and restored (quite a lot of) my faith in them. "Getting Nowhere" is beautiful, and although very chilled and not a banger or Neck Snappah (excuse the pun!), still has a body-moving vibe to it. Featuring John Legend on the track was truly a wise move - his voice and vocal style suit the song and its feel perfectly and compliment the lyrics of the song very well.
Anyway, I'm getting a little carried away again, so here's the track:
Magnetic Man - Getting Nowhere (feat. John Legend)
And please do yourself a huge huge favour and check out this video for the song, its really rad:
Enjoy!
