Raindance by @santandave & @temsbaby saw a slow-burn rise to No.1 earlier this year — and its success is in no small part down to Dave’s longtime friend and close collaborator, @kyle_ev ⛈️
In our latest instalment of Hitmakers, we hear from the song’s co-writer and co-producer about its creation, 6am studio finishes, Dave’s mum’s home cooking, and him spitting bars fresh out of shoulder surgery.

@santandave THE BOY WHO PLAYED THE HARP Album Out Now!
It feels surreal to even say that it’s finally released. After years of pouring our hearts and souls into this album,I know that we have delivered a body of work that is true to itself because we have been true to ourselves. Not just in the lyrics, but in the production and in each decision made around putting it together. I’m so proud of everyone involved and of the album itself. I know it means everything to us.
@santandave@jonnyleslie@jocalebofficial@jamesblake@dom_maker@jim_legxacy@temsbaby@therealkano thank you all for doing what you all do best which is delivering greatness! Thank you @jesperlynggaardr@louisrogove@jonnyleslie for your tireless engineering efforts. Thank God for everything, the ups and the downs and guiding us along this journey.
@santandave thank you for putting your trust in us, it’s mad to think how long we’ve been doing this for and I’m prouder of you and more inspired by you than ever. I’m excited for everyone to listen!
