Bebe Rexha is a "Dirty Blonde" and you will find all about it when her brand new album will be released in June.Her collaboration with Faithless may not reached the highest positions on the charts but for sure this is a song that will be all over the dance venues this summer.But not only that.....Bebe Rexha teams up once more with David Guetta for the anthemic dance single "Sad Girls". It marks the new musical reunion of the successful duo after the global hits "I'm Good (Blue)" and "One in a Million", songs that achieved huge success especially on streaming platforms and radios.The trademark sound on Guetta's productions is the main reason not to like a song and the main reason to love it at the same time.How this is possible only Guetta knows who remains among the dance banger providers for another year.
When you are using such an iconic song then probably it's power can start a "New Religion".After all the power of music has that kind of power and Bebe Rexha is using it with all it's glory since the original creators Faithless are on board.This is not the first time they have a collaboration since last year they released "Dollars & Dimes" together.Her brand new vocals on "Insomnia" in a very clever way is what makes this combination an easy hit alert that can lead to a global success.Her new album in three years has already a banger that can make it's way through all summer and beyond that.
Kylie remains at the pinnacle of pop culture.Her brand new single is here to expand what few artists will ever manage to reach."My Oh My" is a fun, frisky pop belter, a song that exudes femme energy from first note to last. Kylie is joined by two unbelievable guests Bebe Rexha and Tove Lo for a track that feels camp, contagious, and totally thrilling.The single nods to Minogue’s mega-hit "Can’t Get You Out Of My Head" with a "la la la" refrain.It marks the second time Lo and Minogue have teamed up following 2019’s "Really Don’t Like U", while it’s the first time Rexha and Minogue have worked together.It's Kylie time...
Time for some chase now and now it's your chance to chase Bebe Rexha's brand new single "Chase It (Mmm Da Da Da)".The bubbly dance pop single features a super catchy vocal melody that is sure to be memorable among listeners.The single was produced by some of the best house artists in the game Chris Lake, Sammy Virji, Punctual and Marco Straus.Can't help not to mention that that mmm da da da thing resembles to the massive Crystal Waters classic "Gypsy Woman" that really worked back in 1991 and it can really work again for juicy Rexha.This could really work as a true crossover.
I think that Brazilian Alok deserves this year a crossover hit.So far he has managed to create a prestigious name of his own, everybody in dance music knows him but without a chart hit so far.For his first single of 2024 he teams up with Bebe Rexha marking her first single of the year as well for the release of "Deep In Your Love".And as expected a sample was necessary so they used something that many know from 2001's mega dance anthem "Chase The Sun" by Planet Funk.What many don't know is that the melody originally belongs to Ennio Moriconne's "Alla Luce Del Giorno" from 1969."Deep In Your Love" it's easy to use almost everywhere so you might see it rise the next weeks.
This song is the first time the pair have collaborated, however both singers are known for their collaborations with other artists. This year, Nathan has collaborated with Joel Corry and Ella Henderson with "0800 Heaven", while Bebe Rexha has worked with dance legend David Guetta on "One In A Million", and their massive hit "I'm Good (Blue)" last year."Heart Still Beating" is a dance radio friendly release that will probably chart high in the Uk but make no mistake this is not the epitomy of "something new to my ear".But still it has all the ingredients to make you wanna hear it again and again..
This pair had one of the biggest hits last year with "I m Good" so they try once more with a new release straight out from the recycled David Guetta music library.And i m say this cause the piano chords on this release reminds a lot "When Love Takes Over" by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland 14 years ago."One In A Million" is certainly a piano house anthem with a potential to be a hit but i m not sure if this genre will work when rave from the 90s is really the hot sound of 2023.As for Guetta i m curious what he ll release next week.He is a dance machine...
Sometimes all it takes is a viral video, a streaming frenzy, an event, a live show to explode a release and make it a global hit.In a digital world luck is a part of the game in music business and you really don't know what lies ahead for a song even in the next decade.They say good things come in threes, and Two Friends, Bebe Rexha and Loud Luxury are bringing a summertime single that's as heartfelt as it is nostalgic.The collaborative trifecta have dropped "If Only I" that harkens back to the era of euphoric mainstage music that defined the early 2010s.Bebe Rexha had a huge hit with David Guetta, Loud Luxury are big in the USA with plenty of hits in the dance charts and Two Friends are producers who know how to keep an audience engaged with singalong-worthy mashups, remixes and live edits."If Only I" sounds like a summer dance anthem that will service it's role...
Some say that Pnau are struggling to remake somehow "Cold Heart" and the truth is that who isn't trying to duplicate his success using the same tools.It's only natural then for Pnau's productions to have the essence of their sound.The question is why such good songs like their previous single "The Hard Way" are destined to be discovered sometime in the future and not now.Anyway the Australians have a new single released tomorrow with the odd pairing of Bebe Rexha and Ozuna for "Stars".Once more this is a nice single for the duo and it has already added to my playlist.What about yours?
Bebe Rexha recently shared the tracklist for her upcoming album,"Bebe" featuring Dolly Parton and Snoop Dogg.It is scheduled to arrive on April 28, follows Rexha’s 2021 LP "Better Mistakes".Now Bebe Rexha just released as a single her collab with Snoop Dogg called "Satellite".Trying to establish herself as a pop star this is a good single overall although i feel Snoop Dogg should be left out on this one cause has nothing to offer on a song like this."Satellite" has a disco Abba-ish feeling with a "Flowers" attitude over a Kylie disco era flavour.But who needs a description when he can make up his own mind.I think i like it but will it work?
After the global domination with David Guetta and "I m Good' Bebe Rexha released "Heart Wants What It Wants" which went on the trash even though it didn't deserve it.Now what makes her think that "Call On Me" will do better, god only knows.In a world with plenty dance pop singles and dance music in general only few survives and only under certain circumstances.Her brand new single "Call On Me' it's not a bad song for it's genre but if it has a hope is only in Europe cause in Usa these songs are almost excluded from radio play and only if they go viral on Tik Tok has some chances.Pop music can be hard from the top to downhills...
The unexpected massive success she recieved with David Guetta put Bebe Rexha's career to another level.Now she has to prove that she can continue to produce hits on her own at least.She has the boost (and the boobs) and her brand new single is quite good."Heart Wants What It Wants" sounds like an upbeat hybrid of Miley Cyrus "Flowers" with the right amount of 80's vibe and the perfect pop attitude for the charts.It could be all over the radio and to tell you the truth i m curious if they hear what i hear..
The unexpected success of "I m Good" by David Guetta and Bebe Rexha continues all around the globe with a forthcoming top 10 in the USA which is inevitable.And i say unexpected cause nobody thought that this cover-sample will have such a big impact on people.And since the remixes are keep coming from every corner here is the Oliver Heldens remix that is made for feeling alright and have once more the best fucking night of your life..
As i often say the chart position means almost nothing unless you don't have a duration in the charts. That's what makes the real hits and nothing else. To tell you the truth i m surprised that this transition from Eiffel's 65 hit to a David Guetta dance anthem had such a respond. In fact "I M Good" is massive all over the world and is expected to dethrone Lewis Capaldi from number one in the Uk charts. While i m waiting the official remixes of Guetta's and Bebe Rexha's new number one i use this rework from Manse to write down these few words for this massive massive hit...
I m recycling you are recycling he is recycling she is recycling. David Guetta is ain't gonna stop releasing a new song every week till summer is over and this one has Bebe Rexha on vocals. Yes she is good as you can all see in the picture and she ll eventually turn into blue after hearing this cover of Eiffel 65 1998 mega hit "Blue".The song is renamed into "I M Good" some lyrics changed some piano chords are more intense and here you are...
David Guetta is a music machine and he keeps releasing singles and remixes the one after another. His new single is "Family" and the Family members are all the above. This mid tempo jam may not be a instant hit but i think it will make it's presence in the charts one way or another. After all Guetta has such a big catalog of hits and he will create many more in the future. I just keep wondering with the rhythm in releases he has how many more till the end of the year we ll have...
Ο Topic έχει ήδη μεγάλες επιτυχίες σε ολόκληρη την Ευρώπη για να παραβλέψει κανείς το νέο του single. Είναι η πρώτη φορά που δεν έχει στα φωνητικά τον A7S του οποίου το νέο solo single παρουσίασα πριν λίγο καιρό αφού χρησιμοποιεί την αδικημένη στον χώρο της pop Bebe Rexha. To "Chain My Heart" έχει όλες τις προδιαγραφές να γίνει hit και με την φόρα που έχει ο Topic είναι το πιθανότερο να συμβεί. Ακούω και κάποια αλλαγή στα synths και τον ήχο σε αυτό εδώ σε σχέση με τα προηγούμενα το οποίο συμβάλει στο γεγονός ότι δεν επαναλαμβάνεται. Ο Γερμανός ξέρει προς το παρόν πως να κάνει hits...
Λοιπόν μία μικρή ανάλυση- πρόβλεψη για τον σημερινό τελικό της Eurovision ο οποίος είναι αμφιλεγόμενος αλλά από την άλλη μας διασκεδάζει κιόλας με όλο αυτό το πανηγύρι. Ο διαγωνισμός αυτός είναι ένας σύνθετος διαγωνισμός και δεν είναι καθαρά μουσικός. Για να κερδίσει ένα τραγούδι θα πρέπει να κερδίσει την επιτροπή, τον κόσμο κυρίως αλλά και να αποφύγει τις όποιες γεωπολιτικές συμμαχίες υπάρχουν εδώ και χρόνια στον διαγωνισμό. Πολλά καλά τραγούδια δεν κέρδισαν για έναν από τους παραπάνω λόγους. Αν πχ οι επιτροπές είχαν δώσει περισσότερους πόντους στο "Fuego" δεν θα μιλούσαμε τώρα για μία από τις χαρακτηριστικές αδικίες. όσο αναφορά τα pop τραγούδια του διαγωνισμού 3 βασικά ξεχωρίζουν. Αυτά της Κύπρου, της Μάλτας και του Αζερμπαιτζάν θα πω εγώ. Πόσους πόντους θα πάρουν αυτά από τις κριτικές επιτροπές; Θα είναι αρκετές; Από καλά τραγούδια τώρα Ελβετία, Γαλλία, Πορτογαλία έχουν τα καλύτερα κατά την γνώμη μου αλλά πόσο θα πάρουν από τον κόσμο;;; Και πάμε και στα ιδιαίτερα που είναι Ιταλία, Ουκρανία, Λιθουανία, Ισλανδία, Ρωσία που μπορεί να κερδίσουν και τους δύο παραπάνω παράγοντες αλλά και να τους χάσουν ταυτόχρονα. Προσωπική μου εκτίμηση είναι πως από αυτά που είδα και άκουσα ο Ελβετός μπορεί να συνδυάσει και τα δύο και είναι αυτός που θα ήθελα να κερδίσει με μόνο "ελάττωμα" την γλώσσα θα έλεγα εγώ που αυτό βέβαια λύνεται αργότερα με μία english version. Μοιάζει αρκετά με αυτό του Duncan Lawrence που κέρδισε το οποίο μπορεί να λειτουργήσει στον κόσμο όπως φάνηκε αλλά και για τον ίδιο ακριβώς λόγο να αποτελέσει τροχοπέδη. Όπως και να χει έχει αποδειχθεί πως επιτυχίες αν γίνουν και όποια γίνουν δεν είναι πάντοτε τα νικητήρια...
Νικητής πάντως σίγουρα είναι ο David Guetta που όλα αυτά τα χρόνια έχει αποδείξει πως ξέρει να κάνει επιτυχίες και να είναι ανάμεσα στα κορυφαία ονόματα της μουσικής. Την επόμενη εβδομάδα είναι σίγουρο πως η συνεργασία του με τους Galantis και τις Little Mix θα βρεθεί πολύ ψηλά στα charts και μόνο οι BTS θα το σταματήσουν στην Βρετανία. Και επειδή ο άνθρωπος είναι μηχανή πάρτε και μία ακόμα κυκλοφορία από αυτόν μαζί με την Bebe Rexha και με sample από το "I M Blue" των Eiffel 65 που για τις ανάγκες του single μετατρέπεται σε "I M Good"...
H Bebe Rexha έχει το album της έτοιμο το οποίο ονομάζεται "Better Mistakes" και θα κυκλοφορήσει στις αρχές Μαίου. Και αφού αδίκως δεν της βγήκε το πρώτο single έρχεται το "Sabotage" ως δεύτερο με έντονη την τεχνοτροπία της Sia η οποία έχει το δικό της κοινό. Και αυτό το single το βρίσκω καλό και ελπίζω να μην διαψευσθώ για δεύτερη φορά όσο αναφορά τις προοπτικές επιτυχίας του. Λυπάμαι που το blog είναι πιο γρήγορο από το You Tube αλλά ολόκληρο το τραγούδι αν είστε φίλοι της μουσικής στην σελίδα του Sound Fist στο Facebook γιατί μία φορά μας έκλεισαν το μαγαζί μην μας το κλείσουν και δεύτερη...
Το "Sacrifice" της Bebe Rexha είναι ένα χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα καλής dance pop που μέχρι στιγμής το έχει φάει η μαρμάγκα και πέρασε σχεδόν απαρατήρητο από τα charts. Τόσο το video για το τραγούδι όσο και ο ήχος θα μπορούσε να το έχει κάνει να είναι από τις μεγάλες επιτυχίες των charts και όμως. Τώρα δεν ξέρω αν ξαφνικά μπει στην μέση το Tik Tok και αλλάξει τα δεδομένα πάντως είναι πραγματικά κρίμα. Έγώ θα συνεχίσω να στηρίζω αυτό το dance pop gem και θα προτείνω και το remix που του έκαναν οι Gorgon City ελπίζοντας πως η μοίρα του θα αλλάξει..
