Hurrah! I can officially confirm that Ma Radio by svelte pop-pixie Osvaldo Supino is the song that your summer has been waiting for. It is a slamming dance track that sounds like Lady Gaga, Britney & Simon Curtis got together for an orgy & this was the musical progeny that flung like love batter from that sticky union. It's one of several collaborations with the insanely talented writing team of the Crush Boys & Charlie Mason on Osvaldo's sparkling recent album & those fellas know how to write a song that will not so much seep into your brain, but smash it's way in there with instantaneous hooks & relentless, unforgiving beats. They always leave you a bit giddy & biting your lip to stop screaming your safe word of "YES PLEASE"! Here, the song has a down & dirty fuzzy beat that merges seamlessly with string-laced synth effects and a hypnotic hand clap rhythm, all acting as the perfect backdrop to Osvaldo's autotune vocals (that work incredibly well in the concept of the song). It's all designed to make you pull shapes on the nearest dancefloor & the rap elements are just bloody genius. But just as the song indicates, tunes on the radio can infuse you with heightened emotions & the chorus mirrors this with it's trance like hook. And as blooming good luck would have it, there is a natty little video to accompany it :) Hurrah! Here are some of my favourite bits and occurrences :)
- It all starts off with an old school radio being shown - the type with tape to tape cassette decks and everything! This is people in history shows like the Kids from Fame used to dance to back when they got their hi-fidelity on :)
- The ancient artifact is actually travelling on it's own in a lift (or elevator if you are from the US of A) until it arrives at floor Osvaldo, who picks it up with an energetic "let's go". How enthusiastic. Or bossy if you are a bit lazy like me.
- Osvaldo boogies through the streets looking a little bit gangster (thanks to his hardcore chainage round his neck) and a little bit go-go dancer (thanks to the bandanna as also sported by the non-dragged up Sharon Needles and Alaska! Sickening!) Chains! Bandannas! It's an S&M party waiting to happen :)
- Osvaldo must be tired from lugging that mahoosive tranny (an old name for a radio, fact fans, not one of the aforementioned drag queens!) around - he seeks sustenance by peering into a local restaurant window. The food looks mighty good. I could just go for some quail eggs...
- The restaurant staff look stressed and overworked. That attitude ain't gonna be getting them an above average tip. No one wants a side of sass with their lemongrass wheat juice. Oh no they better don't! Osvaldo obviously needs to spend some time with them getting down to Ma Radio!
- His Ma Radio is so powerful that when he slams it on the table (ruining the diner's enjoyment of their fois gras), the radio waves send everyone flying slo-mo backwards as if they were dodging bullets in The Matrix ...
- Hurrah! Everyone is up and shimmying away to his mighty fine song. Even the two gays having a lovely lunch date are getting well into it :) You can just tell they are dying to get up and man-slut drop their little asses off but are a bit unsure of how this will affect the others opinion of them on this crucial first date! Just go for it boys. Take off your shirts if you like... :D
- One of the waitresses - let's call her Tammy - quits on the spot, changes into her best street-ghetto outfit & goes for a little perambulation with our Osvaldo. They feeling good, grooving along to the music as they titter and giggle their way down the street. Little scamps. I bet she didn't even bus her table...
- To add to the S&M possibilities, the whole video is interspersed (ooo that sounds dirty) with shots of Osvaldo in a studded leather jacket. He does have an amazing James Dean-esque quiff in these shots that I am incredibly envious of :)
- Lots of people in tedious nine to five jobs are shown NOT having the time of their lives. This includes a hotel receptionist, a bored hairdresser getting his best weave did and some bulky construction worker. You may want to pause on that last one for a few minutes and give yourself a happy :)
- The magic radio blast ensures that all these wage slaves are soon forgetting all their troubles and getting down with their bad selves. That construction work - oh my. Bitch turned it out! The hairdresser - well, he has some lovely eye wear :P
- 2m35 - THE CONSTRUCTION WORKER HAS TAKEN HIS TOP OFF! REPEAT THE CONSTRUCTION WORKER HAS TAKEN HIS TOP OFF.
- OSvaldo and his new band of merry men and women are now taking over the streets of Milan (or wherever) and even stop to get a bit of rap from a fella with lovely teeth and a cute as a puppy puppy. You can't beat a bit of rap in a song - working seamlessly ever since Kylie got Jazzie P to spice up Shocked...
- Everyone is in a club and sporting their best outfits. Category is dazzling dance realness and Osvaldo is taking all sort of inspiration from Liberace and Liza Minelli :) It's all about the confidence!
- Everyone has a good time and then (presumably) hooks up. Marv.
