CHART SPOTLIGHT. So, what did Alexandra Stan sound like before ‘Mr. Saxobeat’? As you probably already realized, we love to get down with Romanian dance music. Today we’ve revisited Alexandra Stan’s first hit ‘Lollipop (Param Pam Pam).’
‘Lollipop’ was released in 2009, a year ahead of ‘Mr. Saxobeat.’ She’s added both ‘Get Down (ASAP)’ and ‘One Million’ to her list of hits. The singer reigns from Constanta and studied at the ‘Traian’ Lyceum in that very city.
CHART SPOTLIGHT.Inna’s ‘Un Momento’ is the latest hit single off I Am the Club Rocker! Slated for an early international September release, it will also be included as a bonus track on her debut album Hot in the Spanish and British editions. The video is directed by Alex Herron and takes place in Palma de Mallorca. Herron previously shot ‘Sun Is Up.’ He also directed the DJ Afrojack’s and Eva Simons’s video ‘Take Over Control’ recently covered by WelcheMusic. ‘Un Momento’ succeeds ‘Club Rocker’ and aforementioned ‘Sun Is Up.’
Inna launched the video via her own blog. Check out the lyrics here!
“1 Million” features the guest rapper Calprit who reigns from Zimbabwe. He has also collaborated with the electro house producer Laurent Wolf and German singer Cascada. Following the same routine as Inna, Alexandra Stan is one of many Romanian dance acts who experience great success at the moment.
The Return of the Sax
In a recent article in the leading Swedish news daily Svenska Dagbladet, the reporter Jenny Damberg highlights that saxophones are suddenly everywhere. In addition to Alexandra Stan’s “Mr. Saxobeat,” Kenny G gatecrashes Katy Perry’s “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” while Clarence Clemons is featured on Lady Gaga’s “Edge of Glory.” Alternative acts such as Deerhunter, Destroyer and Patrick Wolf also pay tribute to the sax.
