"I spend so much energy"A bit of a flashback today. This song is from a few years ago, but I'm betting (hoping?) that a lot of you haven't heard it. I hadn't paid Martin Solveig any attention until his brilliant duet with Dragonette this year. Looking at his back catalog, there are a few real stunners I uncovered. Rejection is perhaps the best, and reminds me very much of beloved Danish band Private. It's got that old school, soulful Prince/Michael Jackson sound to it--totally bright and happy, even when the guy's singing about being rejected. The minimalist video is ridiculously entertaining as well. This guy is a real ham. I was actually surprised when I found out that he's French. This is not really the type of music I'd expect to come out of France, especially sung in English.
