You will find in this category each week, a review on an "UFO" track that is breaking the news. All styles are on the “menu” of this category: minimal, house, electro, techno or even trance in some cases.
The topic will be supplemented by other albums following the latest electronic music news.
Stromae and his track "Alors on danse" is the music buzz of the moment. Nevertheless, we found "Te quiero", his new single more clever and more efficient than the previous one. As I listen few radios, I’ve just discovered this new artist on TV. Indeed, he begins to make more and more noise throughout Europe. With nearly 1 million single "Alors on danse" already sold, the Belgian artist, offers tracks with a dash of Kid Kudi and a voice like Louise Attaque. Influenced by Technotronic, Jacques Brel and Lil Wayne, Stromae productions are eclectics. "Te quiero" is a perfect example.
In 2005, Stromae discovered hip hop music with a group that he left to start his solo career. He began by signing a contract with the production house Kilomaître in 2008, as a composer. He produced some tracks for the R&B singer Melissa M, Angun and Kerry James. Then, came his explosion, with his first single "Alors on danse" that has been released under the French label Mercury / Universal. Gradually, his music is spreading in several European countries and thanks to this tremendous success, he managed to release his debut album "Cheese" available since June 21, 2010. His tracks are reflecting a good dose of creativity and madness. He mixes genres to give birth to simple and effective songs that move the masses.
If you've noticed his pseudo, it is simply an anagram of maestro. Change the order of the letters of the last qualifier and you'll get the name of the artist, who comes a bit of nowhere, we must confess. His real name is Paul Van Haver, and his music is characterized by a voice flow rather effective and electro melodies.
It is exactly like that, that “Alors on danse” has been built, with easy lyrics and a catchy beat. For "Te quiero", once again it's the same principle, with lyrics in the same style. It distinguished from the others productions, by a punchy electro bass line, but we regret there is no dub version, without voice. The notes that can be heard on this track are also well thought out. This track will be a hit in nightclubs and for us it is a much better production than the tube for which the artist became famous. We can see the full potential of the artist, capable of both commercial and more elaborate songs.
Master of self-mockery, Stromae appears like a musical UFO in the middle of this year 2010. The only things we don’t want, is that he ends up as a Discobitch or Helmut Fritz. The coherent album "Cheese" which is sometimes too repeated in its construction, need to have a second breath, because the public gets tired more and more quickly these days. I’m sure Stromae, a highly talented MC and boundless of energy, will meet this challenge.
