Stromae - Alors On Dance (Remix)
Artist: Stromae
Featuring: Kanye West , Gilbere Forte'
Producer: Stromae & Dmitri Borrey
Album: Cheese
Label: Mercury
While America’s urban music has been thoroughly steeped in the synth-heavy influence of European pop, artists across the pond haven’t stopped cooking up new and adventurous ways to get bodies moving. The latest continental success to attempt a trans-Atlantic jump, Belgian singer-songwriter Stromae has enlisted a hip-hop heavyweight and a Booth-acclaimed rising star to help up his profile among North American audiences. This official remix of breakout hit Alors On Danse (“So We Dance”), finds the Booth newcomer and co-producer Dmitri Borrey blending four-on-the-floor percussion, sizzling synths and a squeaky woodwind sample into a uniquely body-moving backdrop for lyrical stunting from Kanye West and Philly’s Gilbere Forte’; with the headliner confined to the chorus, the guests do the heavy lifting on the mic, the former lacing the front with high-rolling bravado and the latter enjoying copious quantities of top-shelf liquors on the final verse. So, readers, does this joint have what it takes to make a splash stateside? If you think so, you can hear more on Stromae’s Cheese LP, released Sept. 2.

So this is where artists like Rihanna, Flo Rida, Pitbull, Kelly Rowland, and Ne-Yo are getting their musical inspiration of late from? Its all making so much more sense now (kidding, kind of).
Stromae puts together a nice line-up for the remix, which says more about Forte than West (nice company to keep, young fella). |

As I began to listen I had all the desire in the world to rate this as a two star track. As the catchy production comes in and Kanye spits some decent bars, I'm thinking I could rotate this. Finally, Forte comes in and murks his verse and the wood wind sound has me thoroughly intrigued. After further analysis, this track bangs hard.

This song is definitely banging, I like the production and hook. Kanye has decent verses and Gilbere Forte does a nice job as well. This song is nice.

Damn, Gilbere on a track with Kanye, that should help the man get some much deserved recognition. Bouncy production had me guessing as it first came in, luckily it turned out to be the perfect stage for Kanye and Gilbere to spit fire over. Definite club ready track that club goers would most likely approve of. I think Gilbere shined though.

The first time I heard the original I was hoping for a remix like this. The production is different but sick.

Did not expect the booth to feature this... This song is an absolute monster on the floors at the moment and this remix will certainly keep the buzz high for a few more months

This was the shit over here in Europe half a year ago...
I'd wonder if it will become this huge in America... I definitely didn't expect a Kanye West Remix! |

This sounds much better after a few listens, adding Kanye to any song ups the rating in my books.

As I've said 100 times in the Booth, I'm personally not a fan of "dance" music, but this walks that line between club and hip-hop so perfectly I can't help but enjoy myself. In a weird way it actually kind of bangs. You could take that beat and add some harder drums behind it and it'd be a monster.

Nice bars from Ye and Forte, the sax is a bit annoying and the beat is missing a liiittle something. I rarely rate/listen to dance tracks but this one kept me listening. Solid.

This is a 5-star in the club, and a 4-star anywhere else. I'd definitely vibe to this alone, or in my car with some friends. Well done.

In my opinion the original deserved a 3.5, because it lacked something, but the remix completes the B rating.
