New music download: Plan B - Darkest Place

Plan B
Plan B ... he even visits his gran and goes to church on Sundays now

It's the greatest reinvention since Teenage Fanclub went dubstep (and let's face it, that never actually happened). For his second album, Ben Drew aka Plan B has gone from gritty, grime-flecked rapper to besuited soul boy with a Smokey Robinson falsetto. New album, The Defamation of Strickland Banks, is due on 12 April, and sees the man responsible for songs like Mama (Loves a Crackhead) making a credible bid to be the next Amy Winehouse. No, we didn't see that one coming either.

You can get a taste of Plan B's new sound by downloading Darkest Place, an exclusive giveaway from his new album. Let us know what you think.
