Dessie - Watcha Got
Gorgeous blogger turned songstress Dessie has received a mixed reception for her brand-new single "Watcha Got" with some loving it, and some comparing her to the 'Rebecca Black of Sweden' (Which I don't think is a bad thing to be honest :P). The track is produced by Trinity, responsible for work with Agnes, The Veronicas and The Pussycat Dolls. The song is a well-produced dance/pop piece with a great bassline and a real sexy-sass about it. And an amazing chorus. Her vocal is strangely charming, and the video is gorgeous, had a bit of money spent on it...is classy and gorgeous, and to be honest - I'm a fan. Possibly controversial, but thoughts?
Danny & Freja - If Only You:
Swedish Eurodance god Danny has decided to re-record and prepare his hit "If Only You" for a UK audience. Although I think his music is flawless as is, I think it's absolute travesty that he's re-recorded this track in a third version. I adore the original, and Therese is amazing, I think it would have made a fine single release. Anyways, moving along.
Be warned: That's the explicit version of the video (Only a breast here and there, and some darker S&M themes). Musically, Freja's vocal is fantastic, Danny's is flawless, and the UK edit isn't too different to the original to be annoying, but a little less Europop, and a little more modern, and synthier. Which I enjoy. I don't get the video's relationship to the song, but I actually enjoy it to be honest. It's sexy, dark, moody, dirty and gritty...Much adoration. Plus Danny gets his shirt off...
Also, a beautiful acoustic version of the track, with lyrics, has been made, featuring the awesome single cover, which is pretty cool. Video is above. The track is due for release on July 10th, and I hope this is included in the bundle. I'd love to know your thoughts.
ALSO - UPDATE: Danny and Freja are also doing an awesome remix competition open to the general public. Head on over to their FB page here for more information - but basically the competition is open to the public, and the winner gets their remix commercially released on iTunes - Exciting huh?!
i get the feeling that danny was probably behind the pitch for that video. right, i want some boobs! That sort of thing :D
ReplyDeletePaul: FACT! Just so true. And Freja was like: "I WANT ABS!". What's your thoughts on Dessie?
