Shawn Desman - Electric

Taking a break from bigtime divas to give a little time to a Canadian male artist, Shawn Desman. There's one major problem with this song that I need to get off of my chest right off the top; let me put it this way, Desman's younger brother recently released a song called "Automatic." The songs sound quite similar and both describe as girl with an unrelated adjective (automatic or electric), of course the reason for this is that both songs follow a common dance song formula. "Electric" offers nothing particularily new from Desman or from anything in the dance genre. The lyrics speak of dancing with a girl, nothing special there. You could argue that describing someone as electric is pretty unique, but artists often describe women with interesting vocabulary and "Electric" doesn't have much depth in this comparison. The lyrics really don't seem too intelligent are just repeated over and over again. Overall the song is typical Shawn Desman and typical dance.

It's not all bad though, stylistically the song seems quite cleverly done. With the use electronic effects and sound altering the song achieves and creative interesting feel. The chorus is catchy, and musically it's more unique than other parts of the song. With the effects it creates a bounchy, uneven swinging sound that works quite well. So the song is quite danceable and fun, but if you're looking for something new and unique you won't find it here.
