AxelFox Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I know most of you only know the Romanian nelly furtado (InNO) and the Romanian ke$ha (alexandra stale) but you should really get acquainted some real Romanian legend, Andreea Banica aka the Romanian Beyoncé! She was part of one of the most succesful romanian girl groups of the late 90s-early 00s era, the duo Blondy which had some iconic defining hits of the period: (curly hair one if it isn't obvious) She then went on to have a succesful solo debut in the early-mid 00s and launched an impressive career with many smash hits and became one of the most prominent female figures in Romania's 00s music. Even won an EMA in 2007 for best romanian act (which was a huge thing for us here ) At the end of the 00s she had her commercial peak and and arguably her most famous song that some of you might know (her Sasha fierce era and Single Ladies if you will) Then the early 10s saw some underperformances for her (her 4) and people were starting to count her out with the arrival of new faces in the music scene, she was deemed a relic of the previous era but she turned things around and had a career revival, having a string of mega succesful singles in 2013-2015. Most notable I would say: She has released more songs and collaborations to various degrees of success since then, and has slowed down in recent years but made sure she left her mark in the industry. The parallels are undeniable (plus she is also married to her long time manager, an influential guy in Romanian music and they've been together since her Blondy days, and they have a teenage daughter and another younger boy, just like Beyonce and Jay-Z) 1

TheVelvetRope Posted August 16 Posted August 16 How were the early '10s an underperformance for her when she smashed with: "Love in Brasil" in 2010 "Sexy" in 2011 "Shining Heart" (a multi-week #1 smash, your honour) and "Could You" in 2012 "În Lipsa Ta" in 2013 Actually only starting with 2014 did things start to tremble and "Același iubit" was her last hit, although unremarkable, let's be serious "Rupem Boxele" was the real 2014 summer smasha! 1 1

I may have exaggerated a bit for dramatic effect and the sake of the comparison Still, Love In Brasil was part of the same Samba era, Shinning Heart was a duet, feels more like she was a guest on the track. She launched a campaign with Electrified which underperformed (her Run The World) and Could U saved it a bit but was a slow burner (her Love on Top). Only in 2013 she started gaining some steam again, but honestly I feel like Acelasi Iubit was the most omnipresent from that string of hits? Every girl was listening to that song and posting lyrics of it to their pictures on Facebook I vividly remember

Welp, you may be onto something Both controversial, overproduced, desperate, dated electro messes bombing in favour of a romantic enjoyable song. 8 minutes ago, AxelFox said: Only in 2013 she started gaining some steam again, but honestly I feel like Acelasi Iubit was the most omnipresent from that string of hits?

Bop after bop!
