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".
Juliet & Romeo
Martin Solveig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my hand out the window
Lose track of time and memory
Losing my mind in the palm trees
Got me believing you're so shy
You catch me looking and you hide your eyes
Leaving behind the reality
Become the cool of formalities
You know we should be dancing
Tell me that you wanna go, dancing
You and me in stereo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
You and I, we gotta keep dancing
Oh yeah, sweating in the afterglow, dancing
Juliet and Romeo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
Girl, stop hiding
Hide
Oh-oh
Girl, stop hiding
World's moving so slow
Got my hand out the window
Lose track of time and memory
Losing my mind in the palm trees
You know we should be dancing
Oh yeah, tell me that you wanna go, dancing
You and me in stereo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
You and I, we gotta keep dancing
Oh yeah, sweating in the afterglow, dancingJuliet and Romeo, dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
Girl, stop hiding
Baby, you know we should be dancing
Dancing
Dancing
Intoxicated, this is how we wanna be
Girl, stop hiding
The song Juliet & Romeo by Martin Solveig and Roy Woods is about getting lost in the moment of a summer romance, letting go of reality, and enjoying the rush of the present. The lyrics start off by describing the feeling of being in a slow-moving world while sticking your hand out of the window, possibly while driving through palm trees. The scene sets the mood for the rest of the song, which is all about losing track of time, reality, and memory, intoxicated by the moment of partying and dancing.
The song's title "Juliet & Romeo" refers to the famous tragic Shakespearean love story, which sets up the idea of two lovers who refuse to be separated despite the odds. Roy Woods describes his attraction to a shy girl who hides her eyes when she catches him looking, creating a playful and sensual atmosphere. The lyrics encourage the girl to stop hiding and let go of her inhibitions to dance with him. The chorus repeats the idea of dancing and being intoxicated, showing the complete immersion in the moment.
Overall, Juliet & Romeo is about the excitement of living in the present, disregarding the world's rules, and exploring fleeting summer romances. The song sets the mood of being at a summer party, and the lyrics convey a message of letting go and living in the now.

Bon OK, je me lance connaissant la pointure de martin et au risque de me faire démolir la face.
Mon post ne sera donc qu'une synthèse polie et respectueuse du travail effectué par toute l'équipe de prod, artiste y compris tout en sachant que la science infuse n'est pas de ce monde, et c'est bien dommage.
1) L'intro est bien trop longue avec une progression d'accord trop compliquée.
2) Le 1er couplet est trop tardif.
3) La ligne de piano en plus de devenir pénible au fil de l'écoute est un chouia en conflit avec la voix qui se devrait d'être plus dégagée.
4) la progression d'accords de la mélodie du drop pourrait être optimisé afin de respecter ce que l'oreille s'attend à entendre de façon la + naturelle possible et ainsi 'offrir à l'auditeur un fort sentiment où une forte envie "d'y revenir", ce qui n'est malheureusement pas le cas dans la version actuelle.
5) Le choix de la prod de la ligne voix, bien que de qualité a un train de retard car trop trop proche de ce que FAISAIT "The Weeknd" qui depuis est passé à autre chose, à un autre style dans tous les sens du terme.
6) Et bien d'autres points qui seraient trop long à développer.
Désolé par avance d'avoir été aussi direct, sincère, brut de décoffrage en quelque sorte et avec tout mon profond respect pour tout ce que fait martin................

I'll listen back to this song and always be reminded of the Coronavirus pandemic, listening to it a lot while in quarantine
@sebastianmartin462
James Thompson this song is 3 months old I feel like you’re not being fair to it, it’s supposed to spread joy and happiness (as intended by Martin himself) Not remind you of bad memories...
I mean I get if you just discovered it or happen to be listening it a lot these days, but come on why mention that it will always remind you of this shitty time
@jjaa123ful
Sebastian Martin Haha no I get you. I happen to think it’s a good song, it’s just that I discovered it recently as the UK was being put into lockdown, and have been listening to it a lot while self-isolating 😂 I just feel if I listened to it in five years, despite agreeing its a happy song, I would be instantly reminded of the pandemic, just because of when I was listening to it a lot. It’s the same with other songs and certain life events
@elizabethakhirebhulu1435
@@jjaa123ful obviously it happens listening to songs in certain moments would remind you of those moments when you listen to them months or years down the line of listening to them.
