“Clash” by Dave featuring Stormzy

"Clash" was the opening shot from Dave's second album, We're All Alone in This Together, landing on 9 July 2021 with Stormzy riding shotgun. The two rappers wrote it with Luke Grieve and Kyle Evans, who also produced, and Evans builds the beat out of very little: a ghostly piano figure that circles and circles, and a filtered synth hanging in the air like exhaust, all of it British hip hop with a UK drill chill running through it.

Over that, the pair take turns flexing their riches, and the video, directed by Edem Wornoo, makes the boasts literal, parking them among the cars at Aston Martin's Warwickshire factory and out on the Silverstone Circuit. It climbed to number two on the UK Singles Chart, Dave's eighth top-ten hit and Stormzy's twelfth.
