Eros Ramazzotti - Io Prima Di Te

Latest single from famous Italian singer Eros Ramazzotti is at one hand a classic melody-infectious Eros-track, but in one hand a modern popsong. It's a bit more uptempo than his usual stuff and the production sounds more contemporary, with a gorgeous synth melody in the intro and in the chorus accompanying his lovely voice.Yes - we admit that we're fans. And this is a song that doesn't disappoint one bit.Off course being Italian Eros we're a fashionable perfectly cut suit in the music video and in his normal fashion, that wonderful voice of his is obviously singing about love. The title of the song means "Me, before you" and is about all the he wasn't before his love came and completed him -something along those lines. Enjoy!

The return of the saxophones


For me saxophones takes me back to my childhood in the 90's, and I'm happy it is making a return in more and more contemporary songs. We had a huge hit in the eurodance song "Mr. Saxobeat" by the romanian singer Alexandra Stan 2011. And this year we got two more fantastic dance songs incorporating the lovely instrument that the saxophone is, albeit with a more updated modern sound obviously. They're quite similar that they're both great dance tracks with focus on the music with a tiny bit of vocals on there.

The first one is "Vandaag"(today) by Dutch DJ Lodewijk Fluttert, or Bakermat -that is his stage name. This single was released in the beginning of the year and consisting of electronic/house music with jazz and sould influences and integrates a sample of well known "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther King Jr(which acutally is the only bad part in the song sadly enough). The song has appeared high in the charts in France, Belgium and Netherlands already.

Second we've got the French electronic music duo Klingande consisting of Cédric Steinmyller and Edgar Catry, with the track "Jubel". Jubel is currently on the top 10 iTunes chart in France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Luxembourg. The song is a more traditional dance track with female vocals with a very few lines. The star here is off course not her, but the smooth infectious saxophone beat that get you hooked right from the get go. With these two lovely songs we celebrate the saxophones return to the charts late into the night.

David Carreira - Obrigado la famille (feat. Dry)

22 year old Portuguese artist David Carreira reached number one with his debut album back in 2011. He's born in Dourdan, France and is making a career there as well. And that explain this mix of languages that we've never heard on a record before, namely Portuguese and French! And we love it! This is a very catchy R&B-number that reminds of us of what we consider to be classic French R&B/Hip-Hop. Dry is always laying some rap on the whole thing to top it off. Obrigado La Famille basically means "thank you for family", and the song is about that no matter what you have your family. Aaaw... 

11th November is the release date for his next album that is gonna be a Pop/R&B record according to David himself. On the new album  he's collaborated with Snoop for example.


Priyanka Chopra - Exotic (feat. Pitbull)

 

In early summer Priyanka Chopra - this Indian supercelebrity and actress/singer(and Miss World 2000)released this RedOne penned hit of a single that invites you to dance the summer away. The winter is almost here, but it's no shame in drifiting off for a few minutes and let everything go and dance your feet off for approx 4 minutes!! We only wish we'll be treated to the album soon, hopefully with more RedOne-smashes...
