Dizzee Rascal sticking with new sound

Dizzee Rascal has confirmed that he will continue to release pop music following the success of his latest single 'Dance Wiv Me'.

The R&B star spent four weeks at the top of the UK singles chart in July with the track, which was a collaboration with music producer Calvin Harris.

Rascal has revealed that he plans to stick with his new sound, despite claims from some critics that he has "sold out" by shifting to a more commercially-friendly style.

"From now on, I think I'm always going to make a pop record. It makes sense," Dizzee told the Daily Record. "I'm in the business of selling records. There's no point in fronting to myself that I want to be this overly obscure artist.

"The underground thought I'd sold out as soon as I got a record deal. But I'm not underground and I'm not trying to be underground ever again. I did that on my first album. I came right from the bottom and the only way is up. I will do what needs to be done."
