A work in progress

Welcome to The Ice, Spice and Vice Files!

Here we aim to provide you with 7 full length and detailed reviews, one for each day of the week, of the highlights (or lowlights as the case may be) of the following week's single releases.

You will also find plenty of other features, including the UK midweeks singles chart which is updated daily, roundups of both the international music and boxoffice charts, a glance at the X Factor UK, a 'Who's On Top?' magazine section as well as some other treats too, such as our 'Star Power' featured artist page and 'Introducing...' page.

As always, if there's something you want us to review or feature, just let us know via email or comment and we'll try and sort something out. We're very friendly like that ;-)

In Love and light

Tinie Tempah - Written In The Stars


Tinie Tempah returns with his third single from debut album 'The Disc-Overy' and this time substitutes Labrinth, his feature artist on tracks 'Pass Out' and 'Frisky,' for the big voiced Eric Turner who displays his vocal talents from the off, accompanied by synth beats that maintain a speedy tempo for the track.


Tempah himself sounds more or less the same as ever, showcasing both his unique rapping voice and individual lyrics that have shot him to fame in recent months. The song itself differs from Tinie's previous releases however, being more club focussed, and instead delves a little into the man himself and his rise to the public eye. For the first time, Tempah promotes a motivational message, encouraging his fans to "...keep screaming 'till they hear you out..."


The epic sounding chorus is made by Turner's attention grabbing vocals, which are extremely dramatic and will no doubt arouse interest in the little known performer as he blasts his way through lyrics about fate and not changing due to fame.


The overall track feels like it has the familiar set up of Tempah's other works, and yet feels a bit 'cleaner' and more child friendly as a result of the themes of hard work and self belief, whereas 'Pass Out' and 'Frisky' emphasized Tempah's love of drinking and sex...


Yet again the performer pulls another brilliant track out of the bag, managing to sound fresh whilst maintaining the cheeky lyrics and one of a kind vocals that his fans love. With 'The Disc-Overy' not being released until 4th October and fans desperate to hear more, this should chart well within the top ten.


8/10 - Spice!
