The ShortListen: Martin Solveig (no. 323)

French producer returns with another quirky dance blast

The ShortListen: Martin Solveig (no. 323)
03 June 2016

Who? Martin Solveig, feat Tkay Maidza

What’s the story? Frenchman Martin Solveig has always been smarter than your average dance producer, managing to gain a worldwide audience while still maintaining a slightly quirky stream. This was never better demonstrated on his giant 2010 hit Hello, when he teamed up with Dragonette to stunning effect - a track which landed him a gig producing several tracks on Madonna's 2012 record MDMA. Now, he's released the video for Do It Right, which features Zimbabwe-born Australian singer Tkay Maidza. There's plenty of familiar EDM tricks in there, but it's pleasingly wonky with a great cowbell-heavy chorus, and - as always with Solveig - features a brilliantly weird video that looks like it's been filmed on some sort of Mediterranean Portmeirion. This is a lot of fun.

For fans of: Calvin Harris, Bassment Jaxx

In three words: Quirky dance anthem
