With a collaboration created by acts from the Labrador and Cascine label rosters, "Cocaine" was never likely to be anything other than completely addictive.

Johan Angergård's The Legends have been making pristine dance-pop for well over a decade now, while at the other end of the scale former Selebrities singer Maria Usbeck has only recently released her first solo record in the form of the excellent Amparo.

Described by Angergård as "emotional electronica in English and Spanish", "Cocaine" - not featured on The Legends' 2015 comeback album It's Love - finds the Swede in contemplative mode, bemoaning his desperation and considering the confidence-boosting aspects of the titular drug. In steps Ecuadorian-born Usbeck to soothe in her native language to add a much-needed heart to the song, and creating a languid, end-of-summer duet in the process.

"Cocaine" is out now via Labrador.
