The Very Best's debut LP, Warm Heart of Africa, will be upon us tomorrow, but that doesn't mean it's too late to let advance tracks from the album slip. "Rain Dance" is a busy, cloud-gathering banger full of whomp from the Motherland (by way of three people who are only African in the most indirect sense possible). As with most tracks by The Very Best there's a ton going on in the background, but most of the attention is taken by the song's insistent drums, and M.I.A's free-association verses, which occupy the lion's share of the song's vocal space.
Warm Heart of Africa is available for download tomorrow. Physical copies see release Oct. 6. [TheFader]
