Today’s feature? Features! (or “feat.” or “ft.” or “featuring”, your choice…)

Cassy Gress: Oh lord, my hackles immediately went up just seeing Dude ft. Other Dude – “Women.” I was so hoping they’d have a reason to go back down, but: “I like a woman that lays low/Get up on your feet when I say so”. If you love women so much then why is asking to meet the family “drama?”  You don’t love “women, all women”, you love cardboard cutouts.

Thomas Inskeep: A Jason DeRulo soundalike sings a Chris Brown ode to women, and I want a shower after listening to it.

Scott Mildenhall: To anyone familiar with its demographics, Grimsby won’t be the most obvious home for a fixture of the Asian Network who sings in Punjabi, but then you might also not immediately pair it with “Thriller”, so Zack Knight’s in good company. He is the silky star of this track, and not least because Shide Boss’s titular declarations are hilariously ineffectual. Perhaps today is the perfect day for such statements; perhaps Zack Knight comes at just the right time to be the latest feather in the Grimbarian cap — either way, the mostly unspectacular song could better serve them.

Gaya Sundaram: While neither bloke has become my #1 Brown British Boy (that’d be the flautist whose mind was blown by the concept of pineapple as a pizza topping), I have to admit that Zack comes pretty close. He looks so dorky in his slightly loose outfits and Punjabi lyrics, but his voice sparkles while Shide drones on about Tara and her drama. On the one hand, I feel bad that Shide is getting upstaged on his own song; on the other, I want to thank him for introducing Zack Knight to me.

Alfred Soto: Girls girls girls girls they do adore/Put their names on this paper they would like to date’em/But they won’t cuz they’re fuckin’ bores.

Brad Shoup: Knight owes DJ Mustard major damages, but I bet he’d trade them for a new idea.

Jonathan Bogart: I don’t believe you.
