Global Sensation - Worth all the money,
By Alex O. "chandler52" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Disc O Zone (Audio CD)
This is the North American release of the hugely successful Romanian band O-zone. Other versions of this album can be found as more pricey imports, but this one is affordable and worth every dollar.The song "Dragostea din Tei," translated into English as "Ma Ya Hi" (the last song on this CD), was released in the summer of 2003 at the MTV Music Awards in Romania. It was by far the best selling song in Romania that year, and in 2004 it crossed the borders to Italy and from there, to the rest of Europe. What followed was mass frenzy. Wherever the song got played, it topped the charts. From Madrid-Spain to Sydney-Australia and Tokyo-Japan, O-zone could be heard on the radio, either in Romanian or in various local languages. The song went straight to number 1 in Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Greece, and Cyprus, but it was popular throughout the entire Old Continent. This is the kind of dance pop music that makes headlines in Europe. In North America, there are no real comparable acts, but if you like Kylie Minogue's style, this is very similar. Europop at its best, the three-boy band O-zone has recently made a jump into the US, being featured on the Today Show (Feb 22 2005) and currently being played on Sirius satellite radio. The songs are impressively produced, benefiting from the experience and talent of lead singer and songwriter of the band (Dan Balan), as well as from a number of mainly British DJs. Combining elements of dance, pop, and rock, these tunes are infectious and well-mastered. But above all, they are truly catchy, well-manufactured pop. If you're into having a good time (at least occasionally), you shouldn't miss this one. 13 songs in all, mainly up-beat but with two memorable ballads. Includes the 3 uber-successful EuroTOP hits "Dragostea din Tei" (featured in the funny video found on-line with the guy dancing in his chair and lip-sync-ing), "Despre Tine" and "De ce plang chitarele".

They will be gone soon ....,

This review is from: Disco-Zone (Audio CD)
Another Eurodance act that suffers the same disease as Eiffel 65 and Aqua : the one-hit-wonder syndrome. They have a huge hit now, but none of their other singles and/or albums will be able to live up to that success. In a very near future, when people get sick of hearing that so-catchy-and-lame-it's-good song called Dragostae din tei (which reaches the same level of ridiculousness that helped Barbie Girl and Blue (Da Ba Dee)sell millions of copies worldwide), Disco-Zone will be sold for .99$ at the flea market. And when people hear the name O-Zone, they will all wonder : "Who the heck is that, man?" Oh well. This is how the dance music industry works, so let's enjoy the playfulness of Dragostae din tei while it lasts. And if you haven't seen it yet, I highly suggest you search the Web for this piece of genius called The Fat Dutch Kid, which features a fat boy dancing and miming the words to Dragostae din tei in front of his webcam. This, to me, is reason enough to be thankful for O-Zone...
