DARE

As all fans have agreed, this track has “SINGLE” written all over it. You can hear Shaun Ryder’s vocals in Kong Studios as well, when you wait for the elevator. A return to the discos of the 80’s. A return to good dance music. Shaun Ryder is at his prime. There is much discussion about who is doing the other vocals for this song. It could be Noodle or it could be 2-D(Damon), singing extremely high. Or both. The lyrics repeat a lot but when you’re on the dancefloor, who cares?
