might as well carry on the vibe from yesterday with someone from the last decade trying to sounds like the two decades prior. in this case swedish band melody club who is sort of the missing link between the human league and the ark. this song "baby (stand up)" was quite big when it was released in '04 and i really despised it during it's first run but got softer but my hatred softened eventually as it's to damn catchy.
when doing my runs in recordshops and the likes, i've seen the single for "baby" countless times but has passed up on it as i haven't cared to buy it. two years ago i did have a change of heart as i noticed that it also had remixes and that emmon was one of them. emmon is emma nylén of paris, swedish indie-rockband turned synthband, and is also one of the main singers & songwriters in the group.
emmon's rendition is quite faithful to the song except all of the instruments from the group has been tossed away and replayed electronically. the result it a driving italo-flirt with a killer bassline and it was this who made forget about the original song and make it the defacto original. nylén starts it quite soft and wistfull with the kick and a light pad and hints of the vocal but when it the bassline kicks in, it's down to business. the resonance and soft squelch is sort of acidy in tone and when the break hits near the end it's a great moment as you hear the power of it.
