The salient points

• Labrinth is the only non-X Factor contestant signed to Simon Cowell's Syco label.


• We don't really know what this means in practical terms, but it's an 'interesting fact'.


• In fact it's pretty much the only fact you ever see wheeled out about Labrinth.


• He's produced a lot of good songs and when we say 'a lot' we mean these ones specifically.


• Not only does he say things like "finish line" on other people's songs, but he also fronts some of his own, including this 'banger'.


• In 2012 he released his debut album 'Electronic Earth', which was very good.


• Labrinth has a kind face.
