Tulisa's done a version of 'Sweet Like Chocolate', it's out on Friday, there's nothing you can do to stop it

Tulisa

Full-timer perfumer and semi-retired popstar Tulisa is back — her new single is called 'Sweet Like Chocolate', yes it's a cover of Shanks & Bigfoot's banger for the ages, and it will be out on September 2, ie this Friday.

According to a press release, the song — which also features Akelle from WSTRNF — fuses pop, hip hop and garage and, address­ing the cover issue, the song "rein­vig­or­ates Shanks & Bigfoot’s 2000 hit chorus of the same name".

'Reinvigorates' is a good way of putting it, isn't it.

There's a trailer thing for the song and video on the www right now.

Here it is in fact:

Obviously — OBVIOUSLY! — there's a quote for the press release too:

"I’ve taken the chorus of an old school classic and written around it. It’s one of the most loved tracks of the 90s, and one of my favourite songs as a child. It was amazing to remake and rewrite a song like 'Sweet Like Chocolate', it feels like a good way to come back."

So there we are. Welcome back Tulisa.
