Stromae's popular "Alors On Danse" receives a soulful cover on saxophone from Dubeh Playz on 3Speak.tv. As always, Dubeh never let an opportunity slip to show off his musical talent. By removing the vocals, he allows the melody to become the central focus while the saxophone figures out the underlying feeling and desperation that is inherent in tension and euphoria portrayed in the original song.
Watch the saxophone cover below:
His reworking is imbued with emotion and rhythm while retaining the electronic nature of the original track but adding warmth to jazz. Breath control and phrasing convey musicality and each note finds space to be "breathed" with ease without causing disjuncture in flow and groove. It is calming and contemplative.
His music is even exhilarating on a Web3 platform such as 3Speak. Artists are rarely heard of when they are featured, but with creator-centric and decentralized spaces, Dubeh's music isn't just being heard, but owned by him as well. This move is an indication of the potential of classical musicianship within this new virtual world.
For content creators and instrumental innovation lovers sans centralization, this saxophone cover is a stunning combination of vibe, ability, and technology.
The fact that it's a known song used in tik tok reels, and YouTube shorts, makes this cover much more perfect and relatable. I'll place him in the top10 entries for this week. He was versatile, audible and had fun doing what he does best. Beautiful entry @dubeh-playz
