MATTHEW KOMA, “So F**kin’ Romantic”
It’s taken awhile, Matthew Koma’s first solo single since 2013’s “One Night” and with a new record deal with RCA, but the talented guy has kept himself busy writing for others (Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain 😮 among them), DJing, and featuring on songs by Giorgio Moroder, Hardwell, Tiesto, Zedd, and more, so he’s never been away. “So F**kin’ Romantic” I guess is not aimed at radio play 😉 but Matthew’s dominant presence as a voice in clubs make this a friendly and easy sell 🙂 Sometimes one doesn’t know what to do when you think you’re romantic, right? You can go over-the-top but if the person you’re trying to please doesn’t get it, then what’s the point? Time to party – and MOTi captures the sunny, tropical vibe of the original in his remix (below) which has a progressive edge to it with nods to the 80’s and other eras (not to mention saxophone – not the variety from Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop”). If anything, “So F**kin’ Romantic” should make radio want to play more Matthew Koma, but we dance music lovers will take this one for ourselves! A new album is completed – can’t wait to hear it all.
