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".
Rejection
Martin Solveig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep falling down my knees, baby
I spent so much energy
But the call is not for me, I'm down
Try to show her a different man
But her reaction is the same
I spent so much energy
But she keeps rejecting me
Aaaaaaaaha possession
I spent so much energy
On the frantic rivery
I should start on my grace
She blew smock in my face
Can't you see there's nothing more about me, baby
Now it's time to seek and try to find a way (x2)
Aaaaaaaaaaha rejection
Before you turn your back on me I wanna get my energy
The lyrics to Martin Solveig's song Rejection speak to a feeling of frustration and disappointment in a romantic situation. The singer has put a lot of effort into trying to win over their love interest, but despite their attempts to be a "different man," the other person continues to reject them. The repetition of the line "I spent so much energy" emphasizes the effort that has gone into this pursuit, but ultimately the singer realizes that it is not meant to be and they need to move on.
The chorus of "Aaaaaaaaha rejection / Aaaaaaaaha possession" suggests a theme of ownership and control - the singer feels as though they have been rejected and therefore do not have any control over the situation. The line "She blew smock in my face" is a vivid image of rejection and dismissal. However, the song ends on a slightly more optimistic note with the line "Before you turn your back on me I wanna get my energy" - the singer is not quite ready to give up and wants to regain their strength before trying again.
Overall, the lyrics to Rejection convey a sense of frustration, disappointment, and a desire for control in a romantic situation. The imagery is vivid and the repetition of certain lines emphasizes the emotion behind the words.

I spent so much energy
I put a lot of effort into this
I keep falling down my knees, baby
I'm exhausted and defeated
But the call is not for me, I'm down
I'm not who she wants
Try to show her a different man
I'm trying to change myself for her
But her reaction is the same
But it's not working
But she keeps rejecting me
She doesn't want me
Aaaaaaaaha rejection
Aaaaaaaaha possession
On the frantic rivery
Trying to keep up with her fast-paced life
She blew smock in my face
She's making it clear she doesn't like me
Can't you see there's nothing more about me, baby
She's not interested in me and there's nothing I can do about it
Now it's time to seek and try to find a way (x2)
I need to move on and find someone who wants me
Aaaaaaaaaaha rejection
Before you turn your back on me I wanna get my energy
Before she completely rejects me, I want to put all my energy into trying one last time

This is a good example of why YouTube is great. Now, I will probably seek more by this artist and pay money to buy stuff by him. Thanks for posting and greetings from France.
