Alexandra Stan debuts 'Give Me Your Everything'

Alexandra Stan, original "Lemonade" lover and Co-Queen Of Romania (alongside Inna), is coming for complete global domination once again. (Well, in Japan.) Apparently the positive results obtained in Japan have led the 25-year-old Romanian singer and model to take a fairly drastic choice regarding her new sophomore album "Unlocked," which hits stores exclusively in Japan on August 27th, while the rest of the other countries will have to wait till September.
Leading up to "The Day Of Stan," the diva's been dropping promotional singles for weeks on iTunes, including the horn-heavy uptempo dance-pop "Dance," the experiment J-pop-tastic "Cherry Pop" and her intense tear-jerking power ballad "Thanks For Leaving." This week, the Romanian star unveiled yet another banger called "Give Me Your Everything," the fourth single taken from "Unlocked," a moody Caribbean jam that wouldn't sound at all out of place on Rihanna's "Talk That Talk." Illuminati realness!
Stan isn't exactly a singer you'd expect to push herself in a new, exciting direction, but new single "Give Me Your Everything" reinvents the cutesy, innuendo-loving Europop star into an exotic vixen of global proportions. The midtempo synthpop track which characterized by a style and oriental sounds, "Give Me Your Everything" is a completely different song than the previous singles. In the song, the female narrator takes a stance, where she tells her lover not to be so hard on her, and if he really loves her, he needs to give her his everything. Overall, Stan's vocals are hypnotic and crystalline.
"I can't stop sleep-walking underneath the moonlight, I can't hear you calling reaching for me every night, I'm yours, you're mine, Oh, your kiss brings me back to life," Stan sings. "Don't you be so hard on me! If you love me, give me your everything," the genre-blurring goddess declares above the infectious drum melodies. The song and video speak for themselves. The song's music video was directed by Vlad Fenesan, and features the "Mr. Saxobeat" legend chasing a mysterious man in a dark landscape and more intense than the uplifting dance, but the Romanian star looks stunning in it and it has Middle Eastern melodic flairs, which enhances it sonically.

Alexandra Stan Can't Help Herself But "Dance"

Following the release of her latest single "Cherry Pop," the Romanian dance/pop singer and model Alexandra Stan doesn't rest at all and she has ready another one called "Dance," as the third promotional track from her upcoming sophomore album and possibly the first international (specifically the U.S.) one. Burst onto the scenes with her international smash dance hit "Mr. Saxobeat," the 25-year-old Euro-dance vocalist has ditched experimenting with K-Pop and gone back to the sensual sexy sounds of the saxophone.
This time the singer returns to a more pop sound with electronic touches and the famous sax, slightly softened, and Stan moves away from the K-Pop experiment used in "Dance” and gone back to the sensual sexy sounds of her famous saxophone. It sounds more of K-pop with electronic touches and the song's beat is reminiscent of Ke$ha's "Die Young" meets Stan's very own "Mr. Saxobeat." It has a catchy melody to it that will just inspire her fans and listeners to get up and dance.
The lyrics start out rebellious yet they turn into positive and optimistic. "In my dreams you're falling, you're falling, you're falling down, I'm breaking, I'm breaking your rules, I really believe you can try and change your ways," Stan sings. "By the time you'll know I'm gonna take your hand, Won't let you go, We'll lose our mind, We'll lose our mind." I love how it ends subtle, with Stan singing the closing lyrics backed by acoustic guitar, displaying her honey-rich voice. "Why don't you dance dance dance, And fall in love with friends, let's start a new romance," she sings.
"Dance" is a fun little track (albeit safe) with an equally enjoyable visual. The Khaled Mokhtar-directed steamy video is pretty straight forward. It shows the Romanian dance queen, who is a gymnast/dancer/boxer, can't help but "Dance" and lets body language do the talking with her extremely toned body in an array of unitards while vamping it up for the entire 3:41, as Stan dancing and moving her body to the cheerful beat of "Dance," while different people dancing it out to this K-pop styled jammer exceptionally well. It reminds me of early Kylie! Check out the video below.
