Some dismiss dance music as lacking substance, but just because a track is destined for club consumption doesn’t mean deeper themes can’t be explored.
Don’t look to “Oh Mama Hey,” a collaboration from Chris Cox, DJ Frankie, and Crystal Waters, to support that argument. It’s just good, frivolous fun scored to a four-on-the-floor beat. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Seems the masses agree, or at least the DJs behind the decks. “Oh Mama Hey” is #1 on this week’s Billboard Dance/Club Play chart. It’s Waters’ eighth trip to the penthouse, and her first since 2003’s “My Time” (a collaboration with Dutch, aka The Scumfrog).
I’ve no idea what juicing oranges has to do with the song but that’s the concept behind the music video.
There’s a quite good remix from Rosabel that takes the song in a (sonically) deeper direction.
