  • TTRRUUCES – The Disco

    This disco is apparently in the Caribbean with a rock guitar. The rhythm on this is has a tropical vibe and is accented with disco string stabs. The song is catchy, has a solid beat and overall fun vibe to it. I can hear quite a bit of Micheal Jackson influence on this track from how the vocals are sung to the Caribbean beat. Of course, there is the classic disco sound of lasers on this track as well, which reminds me of Lipps Inc. – Funky Town 

    Lyrics:

You say you love me but then you don't answer the phone
Saturday night at the disco you're dancing alone 

You were never convinced by what your mama would say
And she'll never forgive you no way-o
She said boy you better work all day
'cause you're every night at the disco

Boy - you're every night at the disco

  • Yelle – Karate

    Back with another Yelle track and video. Yelle not only consistently produces great tracks but they always seem to find a simple premise to build a music video with. This time out, we are in the Dojo of dance. And lead singer Julie Budet (aka Yelle) is in red to contrast the with Dojo dancer in white. Was hoping for a dance showdown at some point, which didn’t happen but the video is entertaining nonetheless.

    As for the tune itself, it’s rooted in a Hip Hop vibe of old. Has elements of house like the synth bassline and the keyboard chord stabs. The love on this track for me is the last minute or so of the track with that heartfelt synth lead line that drops around the 2:20 mark. Just another great track from the massive catalog of Yelle. The main line of the track is:

    “Ton kimono est un pyjama” which translates to “Your kimono is a pyjama”.

  • Rey Pila – Drooling

    Big nod to Gorillaz in both video and music. However, we are talking about Rey Pila here. Their brand of electronic pop / rock is all their own. This time around they have incorporated some dancehall vibes into the track. I love the rolling bassline that hits another level in the chorus with the snare that lands as well.

    The video illustrates the symbolism of voodoo in relation to perils of fame and power.
