Calle 13 - "Electro Movimiento"

[Juanca]

Calle 13 is back, this time with a song in Spanglish.
3/4 Verses in Spanish,
Chorus and 1/4 verses in English.

The beat is GOOD. Not really Latin, more 80s, with some reminiscence of Herbie Hancock's "Rock It", with some 'pinball' sound.
I see this like Calle 13's "Right Round".
The lyrics, as always with C13 are irrelevant, almost stupid, but we know that the main idea of C13 is just FUNNY lyrics.
Would they try to have more presence in the US market with this??

Warning: It can be dangerously addictive
"Hooouuld meee, waaant me, toooouch meee,
Toca, toca, toca"
I think the female voice gives a good PLUS to the song and makes it really catchy. (I am listening for the 5th time already!)



PS: at the cheap choreography at the end and the list of: homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, bestialists, pedophiles and heterosexuals to dance to the step of the Robot

This is sooooo great! I've said it before and say it again: Calle 13 are miles above all of the rest of Latin hip-hop/reggeaton artists. Their lyrics are much original and intelligent--in spite of their occasional crudeness--than any others'. The 80's retro vibe that they go for in this song is really cool (but then again I'm a huge 80's geek).

But is the chorus a sample of a previous song? Sounds awfully familiar.

What happened to this song? It has not taken off at all...

In argentina is a smash. It's amazing how the song explodes on the club.

Really? Cool. I'm glad to hear it. In the US, it has hardly made a beep on the radar.

Yea this flop...only Los Angeles played it. Still it was one of my fav from this last CD.

It flopped here too, but I actually think it was a nice song. Better than most of their singles.
