Sigma - Coming Home (Featuring Rita Ora)

Sigma blew up the charts when they hit number one with 'Nobody to Love' in the spring of 2014. The song went on to become a summer anthem and then they got hold of Paloma Faith, stuck her incredible vocals atop 'Changing' and BOOM, had themselves a second consecutive chart topper. Since then they've collaborated with 'Earthquake' hitmaker Labrynth and Xfactor contestant Ella Henderson, but now it seems they've got the top spot in their sights once more with new single 'Coming Home', featuring vocals from talent show judge adulteress and occasional song releaser Rita Ora.

Ora's donated her vocals (she's probably paid very handsomely) to the likes of Iggy Azalea, DJ Fresh, and Charlie XCX in the past with great results. Coming Home is no different. It's a heady, escalating Drum & Bass - pop concoction with a sweet sentiment and Ora's vocals are emotive, emotional and convincing throughout. The song really comes into its own on the chorus, easily identifiable as a Sigma arrangement with Ora's voice layered atop a choir (or lots of very good backing singers) as the beat drives you upward into space. Very good stuff.

Sigma - Changing (feat. Paloma Faith) Review

It's summer and thus it's the season of obligatory dance smashes. Sigma seemed to pop out of nowhere with their debut single Nobody To Love which was and still is, amazing. It set the tone for the sunny months perfectly with its epic arrangement of piano keys and d&b synths, plus the strong vocals by Daniel Pearce. Now they're back with second single and potential number one number two, Changing featuring Paloma Faith. Her vocals suit the dance production perfectly, overflowing with a 90s dance, soul sound. It's refreshing to hear her on a track like this and coupled with Sigma's production, identifiable after only one single, it makes for one hell of a summer anthem with an huge chorus.
