I’m going to talk about the highest debut on the chart now because this song has all the makings of being MASSIVE. I previewed “Memorize Me” by Rune RK & Databoy this past summer, after the song found favour in the Ibiza club circuit, being touted by no less than the legendary Tiësto himself. There are several reasons why this song launches at an impressive #5 on my chart. The pairing of the two DJ teams is impressive. You combine European DJ/producer Rune RK’s flair for creating Ibiza beach party anthems with Austin duo Databoy’s creativity and vocals, along with a seductive lyrical subtext, and voilà – “Memorize Me” is a true original. Revel in each listen or dance your ass off, your choice
Way to go – I can’t get enough of this song right now. It will be available imminently as a free download but for now you can listen to it right here.
After a bit of a delay, “Memorize Me” has arrived with the video at the top of the blog. I have never grown tired of the song since I first heard it and am thrilled that it will be released officially on January 23. Like the song, the video is a true original. The juxtaposition of the two young boys heading out for the day and filtering through a gay pride event and then a Rune RK concert is interesting. One wishes that we could all be so carefree, untainted by opinion and bias, or go anywhere, and just have fun, as if we were kids. It’s also interesting that Databoy lads Cameron and Adam appear as kind of onlookers inside of a television. I had this idea of a video for this song that would have been an updated version of a-ha’s “Take On Me” video, using either a computer or TV as a backdrop… but I digress. Be sure to get “Memorize Me” on Monday!! I’ve now got to convince the two Eric Saade songs at the top of my personal chart to make some room in two weeks…
Below is a preview of a most promising duet! It will be your first – but definitely not to be your last – listen to “When I Was Blind” by 18 year old American singer Kaya (featured recently in the Ballroom Remixed project), partnered with none other than UK sensation Pierre Lewis, who recorded one of my favourite ballads of recent years called “Broken” a few years back. Be forewarned – it’s melt-worthy.
