An instrumental that lies somewhere between UKG and Deep Tech - it sounds a bit like if an Eski-era grime producer decided to make a house track.
Then there's some of the musical guests on the show, who have either been pure Nuum - Craig David - or Nuum-adjacent (Katy B, Tinie Tempah).
And then there is the fact that Chris & Kem, from the third season of Love Island, revealed an ability to rap in the Talent Show episode of that 2017 season.
This resulted in their recording a not-bad-at-all grime-ish single that incorporates Love Island-slang and which reached #15 in the charts.
"Little Bit Leave It" came out on Relentless, the UK garage label. Nuumtastic!
Stormzy also made a non-musical appearance in the 2017 season, with a video clip apologizing for a tweet about one of the prominent female contestants. He also gave tips to Kem & Chris about their MC-ing technique: "I can give you advice about the raps - you can't use the phones".
Certain contestants over the years have actually been performers in "urban" bands as singers or backing dancers (e.g. Cach, from the winning couple this year).
Well, Marcel - who's been in it twice, through being in an All Stars season - was in Blazin' Squad, a British rap group who scored a bunch of hits. They started out as a garage rap group: their debut release "Standard Flow" came with remixes from DND and Ras Kwarme and Horsepower, on the label Weighty Plates. You can't get much more Nuum Nuum Nuummy than that.
And how about this with rrrrrrrginal junglists Origin Unknown?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
How about that season finale then?
They should really have bent the rules and allowed two girls to count as a couple, given that Toni and Shakira were clearly the stars of the season and theirs is the true love story here.
Toni has the best tone and cadence since Liza Minelli.
In another era, some impresario would have spotted Shakira's incandescence and whisked her off to Elstree - or more likely, given her gumption, she'd have made her own way to Hollywood, like Cary Grant and other Brits did did. There she'd have been screen-tested and put through the studio system finishing school (what a shame though for elocution to override that delicious accent) and emerged as a star.
If she can half-way act, it could still happen.
More likely, in this day and age, she'll be famous for being herself, a public personality.
With any luck, she'll drift from entertainment into politics and sort out all our problems.
