UK MUSIC: LABRINTH FT TINE TEMPAH – EARTHQUAKE

Producer/artist Labrinth teams up with Tinie Tempah on his new single Earthquake. ….. Earthquake actually sounds pretty good, decent production, but Labrinth could have done without featuring Tinie on the track, and he needs to decide whether he is going to rap/sing in his monotone English accent or an American accent. The Video – People have been hyping up this video saying it’s “SICK” and “AMAZING” , but in my opinion it’s just alright. The video just reminds me of an 1980s style video game. Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?
