"I had to get away from it because my head was really clouded. So I went out to watch a film ( Monsoon Wedding) and Calvin came along with a bottle of rum. We drank the bottle in the cinema, then went to a bar and ended up getting really, really smashed. We got back to my house and Calvin heard the instrumental and he was like 'I want to be on this tune'. He’s not a singer, he’s just my mate."
