Press play, and prepare to beam at your device in gratitude. Recognise the tune Chance the Rapper just released, with the most wonderfully extended intro? Yes, that’s the Arthur theme song. Talk about a #ThrowbackThursday. Aided by a few friends - namely Wyclef Jean, Elle Varner, Jessie Ware, Ziggy Marley, Eryn Kane, Nate Fox and Stix - the Chicago native has recreated the unforgettable tune into something so soulful that the enthused nostalgia easily felt for anything 90s quickly turns into legitimate heart-melting joy.
Chance’s previous ‘Social Experiments’ have included collaborations with his friend and roommate James Blake: a sultry cover of ‘Wilhelm Scream’ and a remix of Blake’s ‘Life Round Here’. The 21 year old’s work rate is impressive considering his relentless touring schedule, and a recent bout of flu. Aside from his unflagging work ethic, to capture the attention of our ears with this free, feel-good track whilst the world seems to be imploding is rude, but quite frankly, fantastic.
