This fusion of eras, sounds and styles captures Luude at his most experimental, meshing blistering breaks and fluid, rumbling low-end with Sean Paul’s iconic ragga vocals — marking his first ever drum & bass feature — and Brodie’s hyper-distinct, rave-core hooks on a record that feels purpose-built to trouble festival sound-systems all summer long.

Landing as Luude’s first single of 2025 following the release of ‘96’ alongside Songer, KiLLOWEN, Dada Jones and Shapes at the back end of 2024 , ‘Darlin’’ also traces Brodie’s rapid rise through the upper echelons of DnB. It follows the release of her latest single ‘DIE 4 U’ (prod. By Skeptic) in May, collaborations with the likes of Skepsis and Hybrid Minds and support from BBC R1, KISS and Capital Dance, as well as a recent live-streamed performance alongside DJ AG outside Kings Cross station in
London.

For Sean Paul — an artist synonymous with introducing Jamaican dancehall music and culture to the mainstream over the last 20+ years — it marks the latest in a rich history of vibrant and storied collaborations after releasing his eighth and latest studio album, ‘Scorcha’, in 2022.
