Love Goes Down
"Love Goes Down" is the fifth single from British songwriter and rapper Plan B's second studio album, ''The Defamation of Strickland Banks''. The single was released on 2010. HiveMag said of the song: "It’s delightfully soulful and gentle, especially in contrast with some of Plan B’s earlier records. It’s a nice wind-down song. It’s peaceful; it’s relaxing and perfect for this time of year. Yes it may be different and maybe we shouldn’t like it, but the vintage sounding, Motown-like track just seems to work. It’s different but I admire artists that experiment with their sound and adapt to new sounds." Music video The music video for "Love Goes Down" was directed by Daniel Wolfe.

Critical reception Fraser McAlpine of ''BBC Chart'' Blog gave the song a positive review stating: It's a tough one to call, isn't it? Because on the surface of it, it's not like this song contains music which is SO amazingly distracting that it simply cannot be ignored, even if you are up to the most exciting chapter in The Expert's Guide To Newt Management. Or at least, not more distracting than other modern forms of popular song. Mind you, it does start with those stabby synths, an introduction that dramatic has to be an attention-grabber. And once the ear has been pricked, that's a good place to jump in with your little tales of bad behaviou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dubstep
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London in the early 2000s.
