Hot Chip, Bernard Sumner & Hot City - Didn't Know What Love Was


Quirky electronic hit-makers Hot Chip and New Order frontman Bernard Sumner - from the opening bars of this track (an exclusive free download from converseblog.com), you know it’s a combo made in heaven.

Trippy piano chords and retro synths abound in this dancey slice of pop joy that could have come straight out of the early 90s. Sumner’s vocals gel perfectly with Hot Chip’s and the chorus is insanely catchy, transporting you away to drink laced neon nights and the glamour of the dancefloor.

Didn’t Know What Love Was is easily a contender for the best thing Hot Chip have put their name to and equally, it’s refreshing to see such a musical icon as Sumner fitting in so effortlessly with a new musical generation. He’s certainly lost none of the spark that saw him propell New Order to the upper reaches of the charts time and time again in the 80s and 90s. Oh, and did we forget to mention that this track is free to download? Definitely one to get your hands on.

Out now
