Just over a month ago UK club king Donae'O turned the heat up with his bright and breezy new single "Vancouver" with man-of-the-moment Blanco. Matching the former's trademark melodies with the latter's cool-headed lyrics about picking up girls and then backing it up with a gently bumping rhythm, the original as it stood was a scorching antidote to whatever ails you.
Now Donae'O's back with a remix and he's brought along melody-minded Kwesi Arthur and tough-talking rhymer Frenzo Harami to add their contrasting styles and cement the track's club credentials. The end result is a robust, groove-filled club cut spilling over with quotables and guaranteed to slap a smile across your face.
Speaking with Complex via email, Donae'O told us: "For the remix, the reason I got Kwesi involved was because I've been following his movement for a minute, and when I went out to Ghana and realised how much of an impact he was making, I felt we culturally and musically would be a great fit as I was looking for the right collaborator on the 'Vancouver' remix, and thought this is a great start! Frenzo, I heard him on 'Hands On, Hands Off' on ImJustBait's Instagram page and went to follow him straightaway — in my opinion, he is one of the top five rappers in the UK. Watch him. So I'm excited to have a blend of these worlds together."
