Haddaway – The Sun

The Eurodance singer Haddaway who was mesmerizing in the nineties with his energizing and powerful songs, which always about love, released a new album, The Sun, in March 17. It comes almost twenty-one years after the last one.

Some musicians were great in own season, and don’t impress in present times. The songs for The Sun–that were recording for years–contain a wrong move toward modern tunes, but Haddaway achieves not to demolish the album.

“Lift You Head Up” is energizing music that evokes the getting the 90s, and somewhere the 80s. “And Now” contains a disgusting modern rhythm that trivial here, but it didn’t suffer me. “Stay” is a return to the 90s and it’s moving forward in music development from there, and it makes a right combination with contemporary sounds, which playing in the background. All his texts, as always, are about love relationship. The lyrics of this one grabs in its strong. Another touching text was in “Along the Way”. It is of very rare times when Haddaway talks about other things.

“The Sun” was presented in a version “Beach Mix”, and I wasn’t calm because I’m not a party music lover. Luckily, it hadn’t a music mess, as I likely expected. In this song, the singer makes startling with using a contemporary rhythm. There he amazes by embedding a trombone and a wonderful ending that makes to imagine that you’re on the beach. The second version of “The Sun”, named as “House mix”, Haddaway puts sound and modern beats by making it as bearable the listening.

“I Wanna Be For You” has a tender beginning in melancholic maturity, but it relocates to lively party, which was acceptable at that point. But, eventually, the track turns too much into beach party music, which isn’t my likeable taste. Re-singing the song’s title doesn’t help.

Another putting of modern sounding was in “One Night”. It was acceptable again, but it wasn’t my acceptable style. The appearance of a rough male voice is a thing that I don’t sympathize in this melody, and it contributed to that the song itself wasn’t good in sounding. Nevertheless, Haddaway doesn’t follow modern trends. “Part of You” is one more love song started with this non-favorite contemporary beat. However, these sounds are moving away. The melody has a grandiose female vocal, whose name is FHE. Haddaway with her create excellent chemistry. They perform a grandiose love lyrics. Somewhere 80s and 90s feel in “Part of You”.

Haddaway is lovable in that he creates variety in compositions. “Kinda Love” have repercussions alike to Leonard Cohen in which he speaks sometimes in this relaxing tune, while music and texts stay in normality, but it includes some inventiveness. The musician impresses in “Stole Your Heart” by speaking rapid, and it follows to background vocals alike to 70s and changes continues then. All that works for harmony. The track includes a rhythm of 70s. Individuality in tunes features in “All of Me” in which Haddaway sings another likeable lyrics, which about reality, money and, foremost, love. The personality of “Day After Day” in instruments, snaps and singing. Vocals of Katja Bredahl give old jazz, and it isn’t at a first time when I felt the music from that epoch in the album.

The Sun is an easygoing album, and it instigates into a desire to play it again.
