It has it s good points but also its bad ones.
the good
1.The style fits for Tipsy Tipsy name
2. I like she echos her vocals throughout the song to sound like more than one person. hence the artist name.
3. The legnth runs a good 5:30 mins
4. The break sounds rather catchy with the pianos and all
5. The melodies in the versus and bridge are very nice. I like the "don't be shy" part
5. the riff is catchy

the bad.
1. I'm not a fan of Tipsy Tipsy
2. The Intro sounds good untill that reverb echoing crap clubby sound.
3. The riff is played on rather week sounding synths
4. The outro is horrendouz. Sounds like everyone just dropped thier intstruments and left the studio


All in all a decent little tune. I'm glad Saifam is still in the mix.AVEX ;appareantly didn't care much for it :???:

For some reason, this track strikes me as being very poppy. It's one of those songs that sounds like it could be either a cover of a mainstream American artist or just an original creation of Farina's.

Whatever the case, it's a pretty decent song, but also a rather unremarkable one. The sort of noisy, high-pitched synthline is an interesting take, but still not enough to put it in the same league as something like Bandolero. I kind of miss Asia's more aggressive, italo-rooted style, which was more prominent around the early to mid 2000's, but has been seriously lacking in the past few years, even in most of the male-led productions.

Melody Castellari's singing ability has really declined since her early work at Hi-NRG Attack and even her subsequent material at Saifam from the early 00's. Seriously, just compare this new track to Hey Guy from ten years ago. What ever happened to that heavy, energetic, and articulate voice that defined Saifam's female arena in the past? Her performance here comes off as pitchy and rather desperate. To be fair, track itself is nothing exciting and probably the most annoying song the label has released in several years, but a more confident delivery on Castellari's part would've probably at least made it decent.

I like it, It's catchy. I'm still a little on the fence though.

Mela- Hurry Hurry Hurry (ASIA)
Not a bad song, but nowhere as good as Sandy nor the masterpiece that was When I Dream Of You I don't know if Melody sang those, but they were si much better. What this song has a ia pretty good synth riff and even better intro and breakdown. She sounds like she strains her voice a little in the break, but that's ok. I think it would sound great once matered for SEB 226. the melody also kinda reminds me of Chilly Boy. I also really liked that one too.

Wow, surprised about the bad reviews this new track is getting, as I think it's definitely one of the best Asia tracks to come out for quite a few months. It seems to hint at a small return to some of the writing and production that went on when the label was at its SEB peak - I really enjoy the melody and hook, and overall it just seems to have a far more dynamic sound to my ears.

I must be listening to something different to most others :P

Wildside- Get Somebody To Love HimARD 1398

First off: the fact that it's a brand new alias gives the song a whole different identity than a Typsy & Typsy song would have. It's probobly the same group, but it's a Wildside song and it just sounds different and fresher. maybe the staff at saifam read a little of the complaints on the forums about Typsy and Typsy name being played out. Well, something really nice and shiny came from it.

I was actually pleasantly pleased with this song. I love the slower style synth riff and the drum inserts here and there. The piano acapella in the break really adds that touch of old school vibe the track craves for. meaning it sounds like it could easily fit well on a Boom Boom Beat Vinyl next to Spencer and Flippers. The overall melody is still nodoubt a Saifam song, but from the best side. The Wildside. :wink:

drnrg, it's not a new alias. This alias had a song called "Irrésistiblement" in one of the Dance Dance Revolution game (typo'ed "Irresistibilment" and still and typo'ed on Juno).

In fact, beside that, that's not the only track by the alias. See:
http://www.junodownload.com/artists/Wildside/releases/

Note: 21st Century is also a Saifam sub-label.
It's just the alias' first Eurobeat track. That's it.

Also... that song sounds AMAZING. Although, still Tipsy & Tipsy under another alias. >_>

I saw that, but I didn't take into concideration anything that wouldn't appear on SEB series. that other typo'ed song you mentioned was not too bad, but I didn't check for the ones on the 21st century sub-lable at all, since they are usually Euro Dance.

Anyway, it would be the first TIME Wildside appears on SEB if AVEX decides to choose that for next compilation.

:wink:

The song sounds like Tipsy & Tipsy in a fresh "party style". I don't know, as I listened to the preview my first thought was: "That song would fit very well in party playlists!"
Also, this could become the best 3B/Asia song on this SEB decade if it will be released on an upcoming SEB.
