This is another song that's been around for a while, but is only just getting noticed where I live. Edward Maya and Vika Jigulina first broke out of Romania and into the world earlier this year, and now Alexandra Stan is doing the same with a similar song. Like "Stereo Love," "Mr. Saxobeat" has a very european mysterious sound which I say can only help the song.
Musically the song is very interesting and is a great dance song. The saxophone in the background immediately sets up the song to be captivating and Alexandra's vocals carry the feeling. With a catchy hook and repitive beat it's easy to just dance to this song. Alexandra switches between a sexy whisper and a dancy chorus which both make the song strong.
On the other hand, however, the song is not lyrically interesting. The lyrics are quite repitive and feature a lot of breaks where there's nothing but, "Mm yeah!" over and over again. The term 'Mr. Saxobeat' is something that may have deep meaning or is just weird, and I'm leaning towards the latter. Other than that it's really just another invitation to dance sort of song. We've heard it before.
Overall it's a good song that sounds unique if you're looking for something to dance to; otherwise you won't find anything to special in the words.
Also, a little recap on music in general: Summer is nearing an end and it's still unclear exactly what is the song of the summer. Personally I'd say it's "Give Me Everything" which has enjoyed big success, however others would argue that it's LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" which also has been dominating this summer. Don't expect the hype to die down once summer ends though. Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars and Jason Derulo, three major artists, have all released new singles, "You and I," "Marry You," and "It Girl." It would seem as though Adele is releasing "Set Fire to the Rain" in America now as it's starting to climb the charts, and I'm betting it'll do just as good as "Rolling in the Deep." Britney has a poll to decide her next single and it looks like it's going to be "Criminal." Rihanna still isn't done with her latest album and has finally released "Cheers." I've heard rumours that Ke$ha's next single will be "The Harold Song." Finally Jessie J is working to emulate Katy Perry with "Domino" in production
Yeah so, it looks like there's going to be another big smash this fall.
