You all remember Mihai Trăistariu, right? Romanian representative to Eurovision 2006, sang the fantastic dance song "Tornero" with one of the most epic keychanges ever? He released an album after that (a few great moments, but that was it) and I've been waiting for the follow-up to come out for ages now, ever since he started performing "Your Love Is High," a song from it, on TV shows. I think the album was supposed to come out some time last year, but it still hasn't. At least we've got the single for now.Your Love is High--danceable pop that, even if not as over-the-top-ly brilliant as "Tornero" and ends right after a big dramatic "whyyyy" that feels like it should be the lead in to another round of the chorus instead of signaling the song's end. It's catchy and the sort of music I'm glad Mihai, with that impressive voice of his, is making; most singers of his caliber steer clear of pop, let alone dance-pop; to have someone who can sing like he can do music like this (in addition to leading to good performances) opens up some room for more drama in the studio version, which can be a very good thing.
I know of nowhere where this song can be bought, so I'll just point you in the direction of his MySpace instead.
Next up: maybe a British song or that boy band.
