Paloma Faith was recruited for their next single, Changing, which would in itself encapsulate Sigma’s structure for the array of forthcoming singles, and thus the evaporation of their desire to continue the initial respect achieved with Nobody To Love. As well as Changing, more singles followed in the form of Higher, Glitter Ball and then Coming Home, featuring Labrinth, Ella Henderson and Rita Ora respectively. In my opinion, Sigma’s spawn of singles are some of the cheapest, easy-access, and recycled bits of music from the last few years.

The remixes lacked any real dnb rejuvenation, with nothing more than the structured intro verse/chorus with a building breakbeat, brought together with with the expected crescendo, topped with the typical fall of drums and bass, just like on Nobody To Love. All current, trendy songs, high-selling hits, from easy, top 40 artists. Shortly after the release of Nobody To Love, Sigma followed it up with a remix of Clean Bandit’s Extraordinary, followed by Keisza’s Hideaway, and then of all things Dibby Dibby Sound. Festivals the country over, music channels the world over, and everything in between tirelessly churned out Nobody To Love. Although likeable at the time of release, it quickly became another Happy or Get Lucky, after the millionth time of hearing it at the supermarket, gym, radio and then at the weekend, the lyrics really did say it all about Sigma and their eventual demise- ‘I know, you’re tired’. ![]() The drum and bass duo burst onto the scene with their stellar remix of Kanye West’s Bound 2, which in all fairness could be considered one of the biggest songs of the last few years. We all know who Sigma are by now., and their debut album, the imaginatively titled Life, was released today (4th December). ![]()
