You Can't Buy DJ Size "Sunglasses" At Your Ophthalmologist
Music is a universal language, which adapts to the times and the demanding changes of listeners. A truly classic song can be redone by another artist in another musical style and still the song sounds fresh and lively as the original version. This is seen in the recent hit, DJ Size "Sunglasses", (featuring J. Lorenzo and Big Steve), which is a remake of the 1980's classic "Sunglasses at Night" from one-hit wonder Corey Heart.
Big In Germany
DJ Size "Sunglasses" version is a funky, muscatel-soaked version with a modern R & B twist. This still features the catchy synthesizers of the original version. This does include some rap as well as a bouncy rendition of the chorus, where every note has about ten syllables to it. The video is common MTV fare with a lot of babes, pool tables and shiny things, namely DJ Size in sunglasses.
When you look at DJ Size official website, one think immediately strikes you - it's in German. That's probably because DJ Size, "Sunglasses" on or not, is German. He currently lives in Berlin. He doesn't do any of the singing on "Sunglasses", leaving that to the capable and incredibly flexible vocalizing of Big Steve and J. Lorenzo.
Before "Sunglasses", DJ Size was most famous for being the producer of Vibe Kings (also known as Vibe Kingz), who's biggest hit was arguable "She's Like The Wind". That was also a remake of a British hit of the same name from Paul Sirrel and Danny Bond. It's just a regular cast of thousands when listening to today's music, isn't it?
Shape Of Things To Come?
Usually, when a song like DJ Size "Sunglasses" is a big hit in Germany, you never hear about it beyond German-speaking countries. However, DJ Size's "Sunglasses" is considered an international hit, mostly due to the video being put up on video-sharing sites like YouTube. The song has also been sold in mP3 format and quickly distributed through its low cost to no-cost services.
A hit like DJ Size's "Sunglasses" has proven that musicians no longer need the backing of a major label and their publicity department in order to be famous with music lovers. Using more inclusive technology to get music directly to the people, musicians can have more creative control of their art. And music lovers can sample all of the musical offerings from all over the world instead of just being stuck with the same old thing.
