Song of the Day: Dev - "Booty Bounce"

Monday September 6, 2010

The bass on this track is killer. Dev really goes to making your booty bounce in this gutsy Uffie-soundalike track. I love aggressive female electronica songs because the singers put so much attitude into their delivery that it sells the track completely. "Booty Bounce" is just so darn catchy that all the rest of it melts away and you can just enjoy it for what it is. You can move along if you feel inspired to, act out the words if you're interested, or just sit back and relax. The video is a cute ongoing rotation of Dev in a variety of outfits, looking gorgeous and hipster and random and fierce all at the same time. Some may recognize some of the lyrics of "Booty Bounce", which we will discuss in tomorrow's Song of the Day, some come back and check us out!

Song of the Day: The Cataracs - "Club Love"

Friday September 3, 2010

"Club Love" is as good an introduction to The Cataracs as any. They have had quite a lot of songs put up on Youtube, but this one is infectious and sexy. The beat is seductive and the boys have excellent vocal performances on the track. This is the type of production that easily garners fans. "Club Love" isn't all that complex, overall it is minimal but that allows all the aspects of the song to fuse together into something that really connects with listeners. Featured on "Club Love" is Dev, who's voice has been raised a bit similar to Fergie's on "Rock That Body". Dev is also featured in the video, the short haired girl with the diamond tattoo on her shoulder. Check back in Monday to see Dev featured!

Song of the Day: Niamh Egan - "You're The One"

Thursday September 2, 2010

Niamh (pronounced Neeve) Egan is a new talent on Robbins.  Her voice is clear and strong and sounds great in the styles of music presented.  "You're The One" is a bouncy dance radio track worthy of Robbins, with a production that really showcases Egan's voice.  While the original isn't my cup of tea, Wendel Kos really amps the track up for the dance floor with a catchy synth riff and catchy beats.  And since no Robbins release would be complete without a Candelight mix, one is included here.  It is here that Egan's voice truly shines.  I hope she gets attention because there is a smoky aspect to her instrument that suits multiple genres well.  Robbins has another hit on their hands here, but the confusion with the singer's name may cause some potential fans to pass on this.  Give it a try, you might like it.
