Basement Jaxx feat. Lightspeed Champion - My Turn

Basement Jaxx make pleasant, smiley dance for people whose clubbing days are behind them or who don't actually like dancing. This is a fact and it will never alter. The trick the BJ lads have to continually pull off is to make sure whatever's happening on top of their not-too-taxing beats is attention-grabbing in its own right. So here we have Dev Lightspeed Champion waxing philosophical with impressive achy-breaky vocals while some acoustic strumming and weeping violins add emotional depth to the music. And it's very nice, in a 'forgot you and soon as you'd gone' sort of way.
