Dragonette - Let It Go

I don't know if I ever mentioned it before, but I absolutely love Dragonette. I think they are one of the best acts out there right now; such a unique sounds and always catchy. "Let It Go" does not disappoint.

The song follows a mellow electronic beat with consistent electronic, almost distant, vocals. The song displays many of Dragonette's signature sounds like Martina's pronounced vocals and echoing effects. However, it also sounds fresh and unique. The song doesn't build up too strong, but it works in the mellow style. It still manages to create a powerful effect with other tricks, such as when the music holds back and the vocals come forward for the second verse.

Lyrically, the song is hard to make sense of, but that's nothing new for Dragonette. Their songs have always been a little kooky with poetic lyrics that could be interpreted different ways. Lyrics are important to me, and so this is a bit of downside, but it's not like it's unexpected, and it least the lyrics do seem to have some purpose and aren't just some nonsense over a dance beat. If you analyzed the song, there's probably a meaning or two to it, my guess is sex, but it could be anything.

Dragonette smashed international with Martin Solveig on "Hello" last year so the world is ready for something new and unique from them. It's bound to be another big hit in Canada, but it's hard to say whether it will get noticed anywhere else in the world. Canada has been getting a lot of recognition in the world of music lately, Carly Rae Jepsen had her big break out, K'naan getting some success, even Flo Rida's got some new protegee from Canada. So let's cross our fingers that Dragonette can ride on the success too.
