This new Dizzee single 'Holiday' — another Calvin Harris pro­duc­tion with another Chrome guest vocal, which debuted on Radio One last night — is an unself­con­sciously big pop record with lots of nice portions and a little bit of a nod to Madge. 

Here's the song inside a BBC player thing we nicked off Hattie C's blog.

Notes:

1. It well and truly goes off towards the end.
2. "I know that my Spanish is so-so, but let's try and keep that on the low-low" — amazing. 

Did we mention the holiday we tried to have last week? The bloody King Of Pop died. NOT THINKING ABOUT POP FOR A WEEK FAIL.
