"Eagle" on YouTube |
"Eagle" is a song by British rap collective D-Block Europe featuring Albanian rapper Noizy. It was released on 11 January 2024, as the third single from D-Block Europe's third full-length studio album, Rolling Stone. The song was produced by Da Beatfreakz.[1][2]
The track was first teased by Young Adz through an Instagram snippet he posted on September 11, 2023, prior to the official release.[1]
Writing for Clash, Shanté Collier-McDermott wrote that on "Eagle", Noziy has a "gritty tone adding to the song’s authentic rap feel" and "Young Adz' hook another playful salute".[3]
The Guardian's Thomas Hobbs noted that the track is a "highlight" on Rolling Stone. He also stated that the song "has a rabble-rousing hook as well as an irresistible rags-to-riches sentiment".[4] Damien Morris for The Observer wrote that alongside "Lady in Hermes" and "I Need It Now", the song "reassert[s]" their predilection for spare, almost soporific numbness, with more gleaming melodies a minute than many rappers manage in a lifetime".[5]
The official William Thomas-directed music video was filmed in multiple locations, most notably in the capital city of Albania, Tirana.[2] While in Tirana, the three artists "made themselves at home while showing off flashy jewellery, [and] high-end vehicles".[2]
