Premiere: Video: “Sing Sang Sung” by Air

1

This has got to be one of our favorite songs of the year. Not only did it reach the number one spot on our much-coveted chart, but it’s also the return of one of our favorite bands. “Sing Sang Sung” is a cheery chillout tune with a great chorus. It’s the lead-off single to Love 2, which will be out in a couple of weeks.

Back when we introduced him we thought he was a French pop star with a some talent. Now, Sliimy broke that mold and is the first artist officially signed to Perezcious Records. If Perez is releasing his album Paint Your Face in the US, it won’t work out. It’s just not cut out for that market. It might fair well in some niche markets like the hispter demographic and the gay community, but that’s about it. He doesn’t have enough good songs to carry it (Check this and this).

Just when you thought the gentle gods of chill out have taken a long “unbend and unwind” they all gush out with new material. First, it was Royskopp. Then, Moby releases one of the best efforts of the year. Now, both Zero 7 and Air announce that they are releasing full lengthers this year. Air are also giving out a free track titled “Do They Joy,” which is obviously not that single because it’s really not that exciting. Sounds like an off-shoot from 10,000 Hz Legend that never made it onto Everybody Hertz. But, it’s just a buzz builder and I am sure there is sexier stuff on Love 2. Not quite sure if this is the album cover, it’s OK. Excited for all this new material. In fact, this is the third most anticipated release for me this year. Mariah, Whitney then Air. Then Zero 7. Unless Fiona Apple releases something, they will all go down one number.

Here is France’s answer to MIKA. His name is Sliimy and this is his debut track titled “Wake Up” and it;s filled with rainbows and all things glee. The song’s #1 in France and his mop-top is bound to cross over with his English tracks. He got some acclaim with his version of Ms. Britney Spears’ ” Womanizer” (who didn’t).
