Di solito ci sono poche cose su cui mi butto senza nemmeno rifletterci un attimo. Una di queste sono i remix del duo inglese Freemasons. Anche questa volta non sono rimasto deluso da uno dei loro lavori.
Il loro remix di "Million dollar bill" (ascolta il remix | l'originale), ultimo singolo di Whitney Houston che segna il suo ritorno nel mondo della musica dopo una triste parentesi cosparsa di problemi personali. La versione club mix è quella ovviamente che più si adatta al mondo della notte, fatto di mixaggi e dancefloor, con un DNA che rispecchia le produzioni dei due remixer.
Sonorità house, orecchiabili che non si discostano troppo dall'originale per non stravolgere questa canzone che deve mantenere un certo grado di soul. Russell Small e James Wiltshire hanno messo quindi le mani su un riff che si sente in sottofondo nel ritornello, su un giro di basso tagliente e graffiante che agli alti volumi rende questo brano riconoscibile tra mille, su una base con tipici elementi house, che in alcune occasioni viene declinata in uno stile decisamente più R'n'B-funk, per poi ripartire con vigore nei momenti in cui le influenze disco si fanno più vive.
Un disco che porta il secondo singolo estratto dall'album "I look at you" della Houston ad un altro livello, dove quello che conta è il groove, in questo caso l'ottima base garantisce anche un sostegno decisamente robusto nonostante il genere si possa considerare non proprio vicinissimo al grande pubblico. Quando mai capita di avere Whitney cantare il proprio disco house?

Testo | Lyrics
Oh oh oh yeah
Ooh oh ooh oh oh
Came in the door
Checked in my coat
And who I’m looking for
Is staring in my face, ooh
They played our song
We hit the floor
He held me strong
And we danced the night away
I can see the way that he is making me feel
This way about his love
I’ve been looking for something like this
I’m saying ooh oh oh oh ooh oh oh !
If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
If makes you go left, right, up, down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !
It’s been a long long time
Since I fell, fell
Love has found my way oh oh oh
I’ve been looking (looking)
I’ve been searching (searching)
For the man to touch this place, oh ooh oh yeah
Can’t deny the way that he’s making feel
This way about his love
I’ve been searching for something like this
I’m saying oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !
If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left right up down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !
If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say oooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !
If you feel good
If you’re feeling good,
Put one hand in the air, say yeah
If you feel good
If you’re feeling good
It’s cause love is in the air
Love is in the air
If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !
If he makes you feel like a million dollar bill
Say oh oh oh, say oh oh oh !
Makes you go left, right, up, down
Makes you spinning round and round
Say ooh oh oh oh, say ooh oh oh oh !
My baby
Ooh
C’mon and say
C’mon and say
