"Dynamite" is a song by Australian singer song-writer, Asta featuring Australian rapper, Allday. It was released in March 2015.[1] and peaked at number 66 on the ARIA Charts in May 2015.[2]
Asta told The Guardian in May 2015, "The song was finished, I'd recorded my verses and I heard Allday on the radio and thought he would fit really well with the whole vibe of the song. We sent it to him and he did it overnight."[3]
In May 2015, Asta and AllDay performed "Dyanmite" and a over of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)".[4]
Asta promoted the single with Dynamite tour around Australia June through August 2015 with Asta saying "I love performing because I can do whatever I want to do. Being on stage is just the best thing ever about the whole thing, I see myself as more of a performer-singer than a musician really."[5]
The song was voted number 47 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2015.
Hayden Davies from The Music called it a "bouncy, creamy pop song". Davies said "Allday adds an interesting dynamic to what would otherwise be a straight-out pop single that takes influence from the increasing merging of dance and hip hop... And it's all wrapped around a bounding bass line and chunks of piano that has a catchy atmosphere which is sure to bounce around in your head for days."[1]
Staff Writers from Scenestr called it an "80s-drenched collaboration".[5]
