"Blind Faith" is the third overall, and second official, single from British drum and bass duo Chase & Status' second studio album, No More Idols. The single features vocals from Liam Bailey, and was released on 21 January 2011. The single peaked at #5 in the United Kingdom. The chorus of the song also features vocals performed by Yolanda Quartey.[1] The "Sweet sensation" line is inspired by Loleatta Holloway's 1980 disco hit "Love Sensation". "Blind Faith" is featured on the soundtrack of the racing video games Dirt 3 and Forza Horizon. The music video for "Blind Faith" appeared on YouTube on 9 December 2010.[2] The video is set during the illegal warehouse rave era of the early 1990s, and features a group of people partying in empty warehouses where Chase & Status are playing. Liam Bailey is shown in several scenes, and subtitles to the song are featured at the bottom of the screen.
Critical reception [edit]
Robert Copsey of Digital Spy Blog gave the song a positive review stating: "Long before Britney knocked us for six with that head-spinning dubstep breakdown on her comeback hit, Chase & Status had a few startling syncopated moments of their own, you know. In fact, we could happily spend the weekend drawing up a neat 'Six Degrees Of Dubstep' table to show how, two years since the London duo's debut, the genre's gone from scuzzy underground raves to the sound of choice for pop's A-listers. Of course, there are no double entendres or Spears-style vocal trickery here - just a straight-up grime/dance crossover cut that's both thumpingly energetic and beautifully uplifiting. Guest crooner Liam Bailey's soulful vocals are both soaring and cinematic, while the Yolanda Quartey-helmed chorus sounds like a million '90s club classics rolled into one. Seventeen spins on, it's got us as excited as a Grandad-on-viagra for tonight's dancefloor debauchery."
