Music videos: Cover Drive & Dappy's 'Explode' and Little Mix' 'Wings'
N-Dubz' Dappy teamed up with four-piece collective Cover Drive fro their brand new single "Explode". Having taken over the airwaves for months with the sun-flavoured "Twilight", Barbados-born band are preparing their debut album Bajan Style, and the new clip is set to deliver the first taste.
Returning to the reggae-infused vibe and catchy lyrics, the video sees the Amanda Reifer-fronted band entering a battle of the bands where they liven up the audience to no end. The UK phenom Dappy ends up joining them onstage for an equally-catchy verse featuring his customarily bold bars. Dappy's rap has to be the highlight, as he is on usual cheeky form describing the girl of his dreams as 'whipped like Indiana Jones' and that he wants to 'look into your eyes until they roll back'.

As expected, the X Factor winners didn't spend this video by looking pensive in some ball gowns, but they actually brought lot of colors and attitude in it. "Wings" is their first single proper in the UK, which will be released on August 19, while their debut album is set to follow later in the year.
The accompanying music video also sees the four-piece perform a dance routine to the chorus, while flanked by a collection of backing dancers and a giant Union Jack. Check them out in here.
