Tinchy Stryder feat Taio Cruz – Take Me Back
Why is everyone buying into this electro-pop bullshit? It used to feel sort of fresh and edgy, but the mechanical handling of disparate elements of house and grime with the sole intention of garnering mass appeal is getting really offensive, first with that obnoxious T.I track and now this.
I love Tinchy's softly skittering voice, and, for me, that saves the song a bit. But there's no getting away from the fact that not only is this very by-numbers, but they have also rhymed 'mistreated' with 'misleaded'. For shame.

SINGLES REVIEWS - August 3rd 2009
Tinchy Stryder ft Amelle – Never Leave You
Island Records
Tinchy's riding high. His last outing with Dappy, 'Number 1', lived up to its name. This follow-up makes me want to wind down my car windows and shout 'tuuuuuuuuune'.
There's nothing really original: addictive looping synth beats; Amelle crooning in a top made from artfully-placed duct tape; loved-up lyrics; done-to-death rapper/babe combo.
But by the time Tinchy chimes in with a gruff 'woah, woah', your hands are inexplicably and against better judgment, in-the-air-like-you-just-don't-care. Be afraid, Dizzee. 4.5/5
