Dappy is back with little old 'Beautiful Me' !!!

2015 sees the return of one of British Pop’s most unique and colourful characters as Singer / Songwriter / Rapper, Dappy gears up for the release of ‘Beautiful Me’, the first single to be taken from his forthcoming second solo album. Firmly established as one of the crossover superstars of British music, the Greek born and English raised twenty seven year old whose real name is Costadinos Contstavlos, has achieved unprecedented success both as a solo artist and as part of Pop powerhouse N Dubz. With combined career record sales of over five million, Dappy has notched up seven top ten hit singles, three top ten albums and three platinum certified albums, in addition to seven headline nationwide UK tours which included one Sold Out!!! arena tour.

In the self penned ‘Beautiful Me’, Dappy departs from his former signature musical style, both as a solo artist and as a member of N Dubz. Produced by Mac and Phil (Naughty Boy, Emeli Sandé) and co produced by Nathan Retro (Wiley, Katy B), the forthcoming single showcases a more mature sound... one made of the stuff that melts radio airwaves rather than moving club dancefloors. There is no Rap, no heavy bassline and no electro flavour. Just raw soulful vocals, a rousing down tempo drumbeat and a sweeping, larger than life chorus. Epic sounding from start to finish, ‘Beautiful Me’ is more than a smash... it’s a timeless Pop song in the making. Lyrically ‘Beautiful Me’ sees Dappy broach the widely publicised turbulent times he has faced recently with refreshing and emotive candour.

“My new single ‘Beautiful Me’ is a record from the heart. Letting people understand and see me the way I see myself... how I make wrong decisions and mistakes like everyone else, but that deep down I like to think I have a beautiful soul!” - Dappy (Ex-N-Dubz)

The video is co directed by Dappy himself and is already at over 500,000 views since premiering a week ago, and everyone from Wiley, Professor Green and Krept and Konan to Naughty Boy, Labrinth and Ella Eyre lauding the song on Twitter, ‘Beautiful Me’ has already kicked off to a blockbuster start, giving an enticing taster of what is to come from Dappy’s forthcoming second solo album, due for release later this year.
