Three years later, the putty has long since been peeled off and re-used elsewhere, and all that remains on the chart wall is a sad greasy smear. Kat Stevens: I was so happy when Samim’s “Heater” flung accordion techno into the charts a few years ago, and it somehow stuck there like bright pink silly putty on a whitewashed wall. Totally get why this is a hit all over the world, save the stupid U.S. The female vocal is sweet enough, and the music is well controlled, but I think it’s probably the sampled accordion tune that has made it such a huge smash across Europe.Ĭhuck Eddy: So, I gather those world music woodwinds or hurdy-gurdies or whatever they are wafting through should get classified as “Romanian gypsy music,” or something? Anyway, I cringed at the thinnness of the voices here at first, but eventually the National Geographic stuff and beauty of the Euromelody won me over. Martin Skidmore: Romanian trance with added accordion may not sound like a winner, but this is very likeable.

Pharrell WilliamsĪpproximately eight squillion months after it first became a hit, the Jukebox finally tackles this Romanian monster…įrank Kogan: Summer dance haze, with a woman who’s as hazy as the Romanian panpipes at the start, and an Azeri accordion sample that’s a kissing cousin to “ Lambada“ too bad this didn’t borrow the lambada’s massive hip sway, but it’s vaguely haunting on a vague and sunny day.
