Electronic Dance Music DJ/Producer Manuel Riva (George Emanuel Călin) managed to become one of the most successful Romanian music producers, being the core producer for several Romanian mainstream dance acts for many years, since the year 2000. Manuel Riva chose the deep tech house way for his productions and also for his DJ activity because it defines him so well.
Manuel Riva has already proved his producer skills, releasing several powerful deep and tech tracks: “How you say” (together with Hyptonix), “Wrong or Right” (with Eneli), the famous NOA Club official anthem – “We Are One” (with Eneli), “Mhm Mhm” (also with Eneli) – one of his most successful singles so far mainly because of the international recognition – and also several remixes and bootlegs.
One of his collaborations called “Close the deal” (with Optick and Eneli), a deep and progressive flavored tune, caught the attention of EDM king Tiesto who just played it during one of his latest Club Life radio show episodes.
The first half of 2016 Manuel Riva has been busy touring, but did not forget his fans and released one original new track “We Own The Night” (feat. Luise) together with Onuc, longtime friend and talented DJ/producer, and another two remixes for Paul Damixie – “Time” and U-Gin – “Faith In You“.
Meanwhile, his smash hit “Mhm, Mhm” topped the national and international radio charts and for several weeks it’s been in the Billboard Dance/Club Chart. All these brought him a well-deserved nomination for Best Romanian Act in the MTV European Music Awards 2016.
2016 has been a good year for music and a great year for Manuel Riva, so he couldn’t end it in more style than releasing his second single: “Hey Now“, the very much expected sequel which took everybody by surprise with its uplifting vibe.
Following the global success of ‘Mhm, Mhm‘ and ‘Hey Now‘, Manuel Riva started 2017 in full power with a series of powerful releases: ‘Resolution‘, ‘Saturday Night, Man‘ in collaboration with Hyptonix, ‘Treehouse‘ (feat. Waleed) and ‘Kiyomi‘ – all endorsed by Sam Feldt, Oliver Heldens, Ummet Ozcan, Cosmic Gate and many more.

You got me thinking about this damn thing
Why still care?
And after all these years I've wasted
I could wait more, you said I'm crazy
Am I so?
I've seen you over there, keep watching
Why still care?
And I've been thinking about the same thing
You got me thinking about the same thing
Why still care?

Am I so?

The lyrics to Manuel Riva & Eneli's song "Mhm Mhm" suggest that the singer sees someone watching them from a distance and it's causing them to think about why this person still cares after all these years. The repetition of the phrase "Why still care?" shows the singer's confusion and frustration with this person's continued interest. The line "And after all these years I've wasted, I could wait more" also suggests that the singer has been waiting for this person for a long time, possibly hoping for some sort of reconciliation or closure. However, the other person thinks the singer is crazy for continuing to wait.
The use of the repeated phrase "Mhm mhm mhm" throughout the song creates a sense of ambiguity and adds to the overall feeling of confusion and uncertainty. It's as if the singer is struggling to find the right words to express their feelings and the other person's actions are leaving them speechless.
Overall, the lyrics of "Mhm Mhm" explore the complicated emotions that can arise when someone from the past resurfaces and forces the singer to confront their unresolved feelings.

I've seen you over there, keep watching
From afar, I have noticed your consistent gaze directed towards me
You got me thinking about this damn thing
Your actions have ignited contemplation and frustration within me
Why still care?
What is the reason for continuing this pattern that we have established?
And after all these years I've wasted
Considering the significant amount of time that has passed and my unrequited efforts
I could wait more, you said I'm crazy
Despite this, I struggle with the possibility of prolonging the unfulfillment, but you question my reasoning
Am I so?
Is my desire for resolution truly absurd?

Sunt româncă şi ştiu melodia de la radio, dar habar nu am avut până acum câteva minute că este o piesă scrisă şi cântată de o româncă....Mă bucur că mai avem şi noi astfel de oameni care ne aduc aminte ce popor talentat suntem!
