With 'First Time' Dre revamps his 2012 summer-produced Loudspeaker Riddim, adding more synths, a slightly-new drum pattern and atmospheric elements to the already uptempo backdrop finding a unique thread to weave a hardcore dancehall sound with that of a dance-esque backbone…an odd-ball collaboration but surprisingly a captivating one.
Having James' delicately projected vocals glide across the walking bassline and her making a debut outside of the duo, 'First Time' plays as part of a collaboration with PUMA Fragrances on the launch of their PUMA Sync and the PUMA Dance Dictionary promotions.
Popcaan impressively adds a whole new depth and energy to the song as he spits his bars over the wavy synths further cementing the fact that his upcoming debut album should be a thrilling ride to take.
The dramatic twist in the revamped version is sure to have you irresistibly dancing or nodding along to the dream-like phrasing, floating over Dre Skull's euphoric beat.
