This song is SO Great!
Romantic, but not mushy. If you are the kind of woman who likes it when he says he’ll take care of you, bear your burdens, and never leave, than this is the song for you.
The group is Rudimental, an English drum and bass band, a foursome that’s been very, very big in Europe since 2012, winning numerous UK music awards.
Plus, a great hook! Similar to another English act, Johnny Hates Jazz, which struck gold with “Shattered Dreams,” their hook filled hit from late 80’s. You’ll pick up on similar production elements and that melodic aura.
The vocals on “Lay It On Me” are by Ed Sheeran, arguably the hottest artist on the planet at the moment. A 24 year old musical wunderkind, Sheeran doesn’t waste a second, drawing the listener in from the very first note.
