Mysterious duo of self-identified freakboys Dirty Nice may have abandoned anonymity, but are sounding as sweet as ever on new single "Luvin U".
Featuring sultry vocals from London-based Desta French, the song's Jai Paul-esque inflections ooze sun-soaked cool from string-sampling intro to ultra-laid back chorus.
On realising anonymity was incompatible with live shows on a small budget, Dirty Nice dropped their dreams of CGI staging and stepped into the spotlight, revealing multi-instrumentalists Charlie Pelling and Mark Thompson as the names behind the project.
"Luvin U" is out now.
