Esser - Satisfied

You are here: I Like Music > indie > Esser - Satisfied

Satisfied is the next masterful pop outing for man of the moment Esser. Coming on like a perfect piece of dancehall klezmer, the piano laden intro leads you into a tale of woe from a boy who just can't please his girl.

Replete with handclaps, tambourines, reggae beats and calypso-style steel drum sounds, Satisfied even sounds like it's playing on '78 in 1954 - complete with crackles.

So, a touch of nostalgia from one of the UK's most promising songwriters? Not likely, Esser takes all these references and turns them into something fresh, innovative and completely captivating.

And it's a wise head that acknowledges that: "You know a man can never win, even if you can buy her all the shoes, so when you play the game of love, my friends, it's a game you'll always lose."

Remixes come from the steel city's whippersnapper Toddla T who has turned in a 21st Century dance hall ragga mix and the legendary dub producer Mad Professor.

Produced with Lexxx, sidekick of the A-List mixer Mark Spike Stent (U2, Madonna) - Esser's debut album will be released in February 2009.

The single, Satisfied is relesed on Novermeber 10th 2008.

"The coolest pop practitioner the UK's come up with in a long time" - NME
