Release and composition

edit

Starting from the spring of 2009, the Romanian musician DJ Sava contacted the dance-house music singer Raluka in order to produce single discs.[11] The collaboration of the two resulted in a first hit, entitled "September" and released in 2009, which enjoyed favorable reactions, both from the public and media.[12][13] Taking into account the success achieved, Sava and Raluka continued their collaboration, and over the course of "a few days of recording" a new track, entitled "I Like (The Trumpet)", was produced.[14] The song was produced by the Rappin On recording studio owned by Connect-R who also recorded some of the track's background vocals[6] and supervised by Cat Music.[5] In an interview for Romanian television channel Acasă, Raluka stated that "DJ Sava expected success even before the lyrics and vocals were ready... he liked the instrumental very much".[14]

The release of the song which was officially titled "I Like (The Trumpet)" took place on March 30, 2010, on DJ Sava's website,[15] but also on a few other online publications such as Libertatea and Kiss FM.[16] However, promotion of the song's very own CD began in the middle of the same month, with the release of a sample of the song online.[17][18] On 20 May 2010, the song "I Like (The Trumpet)" was re-released, with the new version of the single disc containing seven remixes.[19][20] On the same date, the official cover of the hit, produced by Dave G.raphics was released.[2]

The perception of critics, fans and listeners on the song was generally positive. The Libertatea newspaper gave the single "I Like (The Trumpet)" a favorable review, claiming that the song brings up "a fresh sound and a very interesting beat".[3] The same source nominated the composition among the "hits of the summer of 2010".[3] Romanian magazine "Salut" shared the same opinion, stating the following: "Raluka has an amazing voice and manages to impose a slight change in style to the song".[21] Other sites observed "an original sound compared to domestic club productions" and stated that I Like (The Trumpet) manages to establish itself from the first listen as a different creation in style, which, however, preserves the same popular nightclub house genre".[22] Following the performance of the song from the Romanian morning reality show "Neața with Răzvan and Dani", the national online press remarked that "Raluka sang live 100% and proved once again that she is a very talented artist, full of energy and optimism".[23]

Music video

edit

Since the release of the song, in the virtual environment, the song "I Like (The Trumpet)" has enjoyed success.[24] A few weeks after its publication, the song had obtained over half a million cumulative views on YouTube.[25] As a result of the success achieved, DJ Sava and Raluka decided to shoot a video for the song, which was to be produced in Ukraine.[26] Contrary to the statements, the two artists filmed in Salina Turda in early June 2010.[27] Directed by Dragoș Buliga, the video was officially launched on June 16 via the Libertatea website and has a predominantly military theme.[28][29]
