Love Me More

That Funky Drummer sample is the gift that keeps haunting us. UK band Chase & Status' Love Me More might be the hundred-thousandth song to sample James Brown's classic ode to his percussionist, but it's a great track nonetheless thanks to the energetic work of British songwriter Emeli Sande, who literally climbs to the sky with her vocal track. The strings follow her to the stratosphere, and it's impossible to keep from getting sucked in. This is a track built on a formula, but no formula exists to account for Sande, and her performance may be the kind of vocal that you scream along to, tears in the eyes, heart ready to burst.
