Martin Solveig
Smash
Warner Music Canada
If it’s not ‘Big In Japan’ yet, it’s definitely big in the club scenes and radio stations. Electro meets Pop, grabbing a larger audience, Martin Solveig’s, Smash is heavy, energetic and something your mood can feed off of. With all of the songs sounding a bit similar, the consistency of energy and upbeat feeling is great, though the album can sound like one very lengthy track after a while. “Hello,” is a song we’ve all heard by now and a great one to start the album off with, welcoming both by name and familiarity. “The Night Out,” is another catchy and familiar track off of this album, which gives a good taste-test of what to expect on Smash.
