"Spaceship" is a song by rapper Tinchy Stryder and hip hop vocalist Dappy. It was meant to be the first single released from his fourth studio album entitled, Full Tank but Full Tank was scrapped making it a non-album single. It was released on 12 June 2011 as a digital download. The single features vocals from Rapper/singer Dappy of N-Dubz, as well as uncredited back up vocals from Tulisa Contostavlos, also from N-Dubz. This is Tinchy Stryder's first top five single since 2009.
Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song three stars out of five, stating that Stryder "and the Grime music trio's frontman/serial "Dappy hat's" offender Dappy split rhymes that reminisce on how far they've come in the biz [...] over a watery stew of club beats and pulsating synths that lack any real oomph or lyrical resonance. Not to worry, Tinch, there's always that rainy day fund, right?"[1]
The music video was filmed in Portofino, Liguria, North-Western Italy, by United Kingdom directors Kwasi Danquah III, Luke Monaghan & James Barber, to accompany the release of "Spaceship". British fashion model and 2010 Miss England finalist, Pascal Craymer, makes a cameo in the video. The video was premiered on Tinchy Stryder's YouTube channel on 25 April 2011 and reached 1 million views on 8 May 2011. The video has now reached nearly 6 million .[2]
