About the Creator
Santan Dave (Dave) is a critically acclaimed British rapper, songwriter, and producer known for his introspective lyrics, storytelling, and musically rich, piano-driven production.[1] He is widely regarded as one of the leading voices in UK rap, with Mercury Prize and BRIT Award recognition enhancing his credibility and mainstream influence. Tems is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer whose soulful Afrobeats/R&B fusion and Grammy-winning collaborations have made her a global star.[1]
What's This About?
“Raindance” is a collaboration between UK rapper Dave and Nigerian singer Tems, released on 23 October 2025 as the fifth track from Dave’s third studio album *The Boy Who Played the Harp*.[1] The song blends UK rap and Afroswing with a romantic, groove-led feel, pairing Dave’s reflective verses with Tems’ melodic, atmospheric vocals.[1][2] Critics describe it as a stripped-down Afroswing love song that explores contrasts between masculine and feminine energies and offers a moment of levity within the album.[1] The music video, directed by Nathan James Tettey, presents a romantic, party-themed visual that complements the song’s mood and has helped drive its renewed momentum on the charts.[2]
🔥Why It's Trending
“Raindance” is trending because the official music video dropped as a surprise while the track was already climbing the charts, pushing it to a new peak of #3 on the UK Singles Chart in early 2026.[1][2] The combination of Dave’s highly anticipated album *The Boy Who Played the Harp*, Tems’ global fanbase, and the song’s romantic, party-ready visual has amplified buzz across UK rap and Afrobeats audiences.[1][2] Its strong chart performance and heavy playlisting are further fueling social media conversation and repeat streams.[1][3]
