djcassuk x Mavado – THE VIRAL SMASH ‘addicted to you’ RECEIVES A FULL OFFICIAL RELEASE

djcassuk hit upon something special when he created a mash-up of Mavado’s ‘When U Feel Lonely’ and Ryan Leslie’s ‘Addiction’. Creating instant virality, it stormed to prominence on all platforms as it surged to #8 on the Shazam UK chart and is now approaching 200,000 creations. After fans demanded an official release of the track, djcassuk and Mavado now drop the full version of ‘addicted to you’.

‘addicted to you’ is a simple idea perfectly executed. djcassuk blended the beat from Mavado’s classic dancehall slow jam ‘When U Feel Lonely’ from 2012 with the irresistible vocal hook from Ryan Leslie’s 2009 Stateside R&B hit ‘Addiction’. The result is a track both fresh and enticingly familiar that both speaks to contemporary audiences and appeals to fans of both of the originals. This cocktail of lovelorn lyrics with a downtempo instrumental makes it the perfect soundtrack for emotionally-charged creations.
 
djcassuk says, “Thank you for everyone who listened and created content. Keep pushing the sound!”

He has also collaborated with an array of world famous artists such as Drake, Future, French Montana and Sean Paul. Mavado features on the track ‘Hype Life’ from Vybz Kartel’s new album ‘God and Time’, and the pair will join forces for some long-awaited special shows this summer.
