about

Laroo not only asserts her relevance but also the universality of good cheer with this piece, a party in itself. In homage to legendary Dutch saxophonist Hans Dulfer, her lead vocals exhort liberty and eternal youth to a wieldy juxtaposition of grungy and bluesy guitars paired with Earth, Wind, and Fire-like horns over romping rhythms. Dulfer—father of Candy—continues to gig prodigiously, knocking down audiences rife amongst whom young enough to be his great-grandkids. A chorale of Saskia launches the anthem reminiscent of 2Pac’s big hit “California Love”. Rapper/ Vocalist M.C. Complex splatters the page with Downtown-gettin’-down scenarios. Byrd paints with expanding pads and keys runs harkening to The Doors “Riders On The Storm”. Gaasterland garnishes with additional partying keys comps.

lyrics

(Saskia:) Downtown (MC Complex:) Yeah (Saskia:) Downtown (MC Complex:) Come on (Saskia:) Downtown(Saskia & MC Complex:) Downtown in the city-y- y-y City-y- y-y, yeah, city-y-y-y, y ow city-y-y-y

(Saskia:) Gonna make the connection to where is the action of the real nitty gritty, underground city I wanna have some innocent fun I wanna be in the run, I wanna have some innocent fun I wanna stay in the run run

(Saskia:) Downtown in the city-y-y-y (MC Complex:) Who’s gonna party with me You know I rock the city (Saskia:) Downtown in the city-y-y-y (MC Complex:) I’m gonna rock the city Party till I’m past sixty

(MC Complex:) I’m always in the mix, I’m where the action is, big city lights, trendsetter, I’m what fashion is I’m what passion is, talk the talk, walk the walk Instragram pictures we posing’, the street’s the cat walk. Beautiful models go downtown shopping for clothes, my outfit’s stupid fresh, tonight we got another show. ‘Been doing this for years, who cares, who wanna party with me, downtown I rock the City, party till I’m past sixty
