Cover Drive gained many subscribers on YouTube with videos of the band covering popular songs. In April 2011, the band signed a publishing deal with Sony and a recording deal with Polydor Records.[1] After the band were signed, they began writing and recording material for their debut album. Whilst in the studio, they met American producer J. R. Rotem who produced their debut single, "Lick Ya Down", which was released in August 2011. After receiving heavy airplay on both the radio and music channels in the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart. They later released their second single, "Twilight" in January 2012, which became their first single to chart in Ireland, peaking at number 30. The song reached number one on in the UK. In April 2012, "Sparks" was released as the third single from the album, peaking at number four in the UK. The following month, the band released their debut album, "Bajan Style", which debuted at number 14 on the UK Albums Chart. In August 2012, they released "Explode" as the fourth single, featuring British grime artist, Dappy. It reached number 29 on the UK Singles Chart. Cover Drive are a four-piece band from Barbados consisting of Amanda Reifer, T-Ray Armstrong, Barry "Bar-Man" Hill and Jamar Harding. They have gained commercial success in the United Kingdom. "Lovesick Riddim" was announced as their lead single from their EP, Liming In Limbo on 13 December 2013 which was given to fans as a taster of what's to come.[2] The group's highly anticipated second album will be released on late 2014. The lead single, Love Junkie is released on 27 July (UK/Europe) and 29 July (US/Rest of world).[3]
