While
everyone was grooving to Blurred Lines last summer (I meant the US
summer ha, not the Pinoy summer), Get Lucky was the song I preferred
more, than that huge hit. Both songs kasi became famous almost at the
same time. Don't get me wrong, I've been a Robin Thicke fan way before
the public discovered him, when he still sang make out songs in
falsetto, but it was Nile Rodgers participation in Get Lucky that made
me take a second look at Daft Punk's latest opus.
I was very
happy to finally see Nile Rodgers get a Grammy today especially in the
big categories like Album and Record of the Year! Kasi when I bought
Madonna's Like A Virgin album one hundred years ago, I learned that it
was he who was instrumental in shaping Madonna's music at that point of
her career.
And anyone who has THAT album would swear that
the dance music there was fantastic - aminin!! Like A Virgin, Material
Girl, Angel, Dress You Up - every single song there was great - and Nile
who was then, a very popular disco producer for Donna Summer and the
other disco greats of that era, might have helped Madonna shape her own
sound, when she was at the start of her career.
Also, I was not
surprised to see his name and Pharrell's in Daft Punk's album credits
because although Daft Punk is already impressive on their own, the sound
of Get Lucky definitely has that disco vibe that only a true disco
producer can give - and what a fantastic collaboration this was!
