Starting up a fresh romance

Valentine’s Day—some love it, some hate it, some romanticise the stereotypical idea of it, and for others it’s just another day! While envisaging all possible prospects that mark the relevance of February 14 for you, we thought a song will be a more subtle, yet ceremonious way to say, we love you!

So, here’s How Love Begins, a song by trio DJ Fresh, High Contrast and Dizzee Rascal. We didn’t want to it to be nauseatingly romantic, so we picked up a dance-worthy tune that will keep your feet tapping!

Voice of the people

Vocal strength 

I really like the music of the song. It’s pretty upbeat. Also, I like the rap in the song. It fits so effortlessly in the song and the vocals are quite strong too.

Well-written 

This is a really cool song. It’s got a really nice video with aerobics. Also, the lyrics of the song are really good.

Funky track

The best thing about the song is that it is quite funky. It’s so 70s and 80, like the band Parliament, only it sounds more electric and tech here. I like the song very much and it’s been on the repeat loop for quite some time now.
