What do you make of the new Rudimental single?

Premiered last night on Annie Mac's increasingly brilliant Radio 1 show, here's the first single from Rudimental's new album.

Called Never Let You Go, it's more of a mood piece than Waiting All Night or Feel The Love. Where those songs were 100% crescendo this seems content to ride a groove, with a telescoping vocal hook and an occasional splatter of drum and bass.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing - it's just not the balls-out barnstormer I was expecting.

Currently filed under undecided. What do you reckon?

Rudimental - Never Let You Go

UPDATE: Here's what people have been saying in reaction to this post over on Twitter.

@mrdiscopop It feels like the third single from an album rather than the lead one

@mrdiscopop It's only a slight departure from before but I'm quite enjoying it. I can't see them doing anything other than this sound.

@mrdiscopop The intro does something interesting, but the chorus is business as usual - will be interesting to see how radio reacts to it.

@LaurenceTGreen @mrdiscopop Brilliantly familiar. Rudimental do the 'Rudimental sound' better than anyone else.

Let's call that "a mixed response".
