Dan Caplen’s ‘Flat Champagne’, is everything you could possibly want from a pop/R&B single in 2017.  Formally known as DC, Atlantic Records’ golden boy has teamed up with the hottest urban voice for his new cut, Ray BLK, who has continued to rocket skywards since she won the BBC Sound Of 2017 poll. To polish it off, Caplen enlisted the help of top-class producers Jordan Riley and Bnann, who between them have written for the likes of Charlie XCX, Nina Nesbitt and Alex Metric. Featuring a cheeky recorder riff and one of the funkiest bass grooves you’ll hear all summer, the real joy of ‘Flat Champagne’ lies in Caplen and BLK’s vocal performances, which bring the track down to earth with their gravelly sincerity. Here’s hoping this collaboration is the first of many to come… - HM
