Dizzee Rascal Teams Up With X Factor Reject On New Single

April 19, 2010
Dizzee Rascal Teams Up With X Factor Reject On New SingleDizzee Rascal has teamed up with X Factor reject and former Popstars: The Rivals winner Daniel Pearce on his new single.

Pearce tried to revive his career on The X Factor last year after his boyband One True Voice dismally flopped in 2002, however, Simon Cowell mercilessly kicked him off at the 'judge's house' stage.

Now, Dizzee Rascal has given Pearce a third bite at the cherry by duetting with him on 'Dirtee Disco'.

Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, Dizzee enthused: "He did backing vocals for me once then he stepped forward to do 'Dance Wiv Me' and 'Holiday'. I heard him and thought I needed a vocalist for the next track - that's how that happened."

Asked how he would describe the song, Dizzee added: "It's just like a massive party record, massive summer tune. It does what it says on the tin."

'Dirtee Disco' is released on May 24th and will also feature on a new extended version of Dizzee Rascal's latest album 'Tongue N' Cheek'.
