Chipmunk is a big example. Urban artist who got signed, became chewing gum pop, got upset that he weren't respected within the urban scene, supposedly walked out of his label and now his gone to do Hip-Hop.
Is Tinie Tempah heading the same route? Or is he actually doing what he really wanted to do from the beginning. 'Pass Out' and 'Frisky' who were both produced by Labrinth, are two singles that blew in the charts. 'Written In The Stars' is another track that's still very good but very much diluted compared to the other two. So are we surprised that 'Wonderman' is very cheesy?
The beat to 'Wonderman' is very nice but it isn't enough for it to have that underground feel to it when you have a well funded, unoriginal, boring video with the annoying voice of Ellie Golding.
Is there going to be an artist that wont sell themselves short? Understandably we all need to put food on the table. But as a consumer, I don't want to be shown one thing and then another the next.
We have Wretch32 to hopefully show these 'BOSS'S' that you don't need to change to have a hit.
'Wonderman' is on Tinie Tempah's album 'Disc-Overy'. Out now.
