Singles (Of Note) Round Up: 5th-12th July

Another jam packed week for dancedancedance. As I've already given out the Tune Of The Week accolade, it's time now to review brand spanking new releases and a few tunes re-released with various new mixes. Let's begin!

It's been difficult to escape this cheeky Euro-pop number that has been storming the charts and even causing a slight controversy over the original. Yes, as you may probably guess, it's none other than Yolanda Be Cool vs D Cup with 'We Speak No Americano'. A bit of cheese never hurt anyone, right? As I've personally heard this tune about a gazillion and one times (the one extra time is what pushed me over the edge!), here is the original version by Marco Calliari. A parading circus with no spectators. Possibly a hint Marco? Other than this tune, the Australian duo have gained support from the likes of Mylo and Fake Blood for their afro-funk, summer grooves.




Yolanda Be Cool's version released: 18th July 2010

This next track is a noteable release from Wiley, though not one of his strongest of recent. Still, it packs a punch and has a title that rolls of the tongue. After researching the term 'Electric Boogaloo' a little further, it seems that Wiley could be referring to a 1984 film that depicted urban dancers using their combined skills and presence to stop a corporation from tearing down a recreation centre. Just a thought. A nice dancefloor pleaser, nonetheless. This below is the stompin' Hudson Mohawke remix.

Kelis has returned after shaving off her massive hair that may have just held the power to her attitude-based face. Her latest album Flesh Tone is a personal recollection of her life post-motherdom and dictates a dance-orientated outlook, a noticeable shift. The change from RnB diva to a lady of dancing leisure could be pinned down to none other than David Guetta for his hand in production; though nothing should be taken from the brave and bold Kelis for her exhilirating input. Her latest single, '4th Of July (Fireworks)', is self-assured, full of layered piano hooks and discarded structure. Quite simply, unique. This below is Calvin Harris's dirty disco-electro-funk take on this beaut. Enjoy!
