"Louder" is a song by British Drum and bass producer DJ Fresh. It features vocals from Welsh singer songwriter Sian Evans. The song serves as the theme song for the Lucozade Sport Lite campaign. It was released on July 3, 2011 on Ministry of Sound. "Louder" is considered an important landmark for dubstep music as it was the first of the genre to reach number one on the UK Singles Chart.[1]
Music video
The music video for the song was uploaded to YouTube on May 23, 2011. It was shot by award-winning director Ben Newman as part of the Lucozade Sport Lite campaign.[2]
Critical reception
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy gave the song a positive review stating:
"Like sipping on a bottle of the electrolyte-infused liquid, its wobbly drum 'n' bass lines are guaranteed to satisfy many a club-goers craving for a three-minute fix of hang-banging, fist-pumping and head-spinning music. "It's gonna get louder," warns guest vocalist Sian Evans on the hi-NRG chorus before breaking into a glorious middle 8 that sounds like a lost '90s classic - prompting the response, 'Don't worry love, keep cranking that dial!'.
[3]
