The melody within XTC’s iconic instrumental “Functions On The Low” has always provoked a lot of emotion, despite Stormzy’s legendary and ignorant take on it last year, with “Shut Up”.
Now that emotion has been tapped in a fresh and new way. R&B artist and dancer Mytton Sanneh has just released a new version of the tune, with this new video too, which has him laying some smooth vocals over the instrumental, transforming the traditionally grime riddim into something totally original.
His version is honest and candid, as he addresses a difficult relationship in his life. He calls his version, “Forget It”.
