Martin Solveig then moved to another famous Paris nightclub Les Bains Douches where he worked with famous DJs such as Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez and Bob Sinclar. His popularity further increased with the Pure parties at the Queen Club either as a DJ or as an art director.
He started producing at an early stage of his career. Through his own Mixture label, he released two 12-inch singles, "Heart of Africa" and "Come With Me". These singles combined dance music with musicians playing traditional instruments. Bob Sinclar then asked him to join the Africanism project combining African music and electronic music. He later released the "Edony" single which received airplay worldwide.
In 2002, he released the album Sur La Terre, which contains both "Heart of Africa" and "Edony". The album was released internationally through Universal Music. Another notable track on the album is "Linda" where he plays tribute to Fela Kuti and Serge Gainsbourg. The album was released in 2004 in the US. In 2003, he worked with Salif Keita on "Madan" which made the charts across Europe, notably France, Italy and Greece. "Rocking Music", which features a punk rock guitar riff (and also known for having Justin Timberlake style vocals), has also made the top 40 in Australia in February 2004. "Madan" and "Rocking Music" have both been featured in his second album, Suite. Following singles included "I'm A Good Man", and "Everybody".
I Want You
Martin Solveig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can really feel something, how come you don't notice me ?
I talk a little but much, you think I'm crazy and such
I imagine something rare, you are like you don't care.
Is there something I can do ?
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want you.
I feel like a superstar, you seem a little shy.
I might try a little too hard and you still wonder why.
I believe I could be the answer, you are such a terrific dancer.
I want to make you sweat, you've seen nothing yet.
Is there something I can do ?
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want you.
You are, you are free and I want
You are, you are, you are, you are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want
You were made for me and I want you, are free and I want you
The lyrics to Martin Solveig's "I Want You" may be interpreted as an expression of unrequited love. The singer expresses a strong feeling that the person they are addressing is their destiny but feels that the person has not noticed them. The singer feels disregarded, as if the other person does not care for their attention. The singer confesses to feeling such an intense attraction to the other person that they feel like a superstar and wants to fight for their attention by making them sweat. The chorus repeats the desire for the other person and establishes the idea that they were made for each other, but the other person remains free and elusive.
The first stanza shows the singer feeling inadequate and unsure of how to approach the person they are interested in. They describe themselves as talking "a little but much," leading the other person to think they are "crazy and such," displaying anxiety and self-doubt. Meanwhile, the other person is cold and distant, leaving the singer feeling helpless and wondering if there is anything they can do to change the situation.
In the second stanza, the singer starts to build up their confidence by depicting themselves as a superstar. Although they acknowledge trying a little too hard, they believe they can be the solution to the other person's search. The singer points out how good the person is at dancing and wants to challenge them, saying that they have seen nothing yet. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that the other person and the singer are made for each other.
