Few months ago Yolanda Be Cool issued a ’press announcement’ recalling their cross-over hit ’We No Speak Americano’.The huge party anthem topped 16 charts across the globe in 2010. It gets air-time on radio stations to this day. What happened? Why is Yolanda Be Cool urging you do destroy every copy of the track ever printed or downloaded?
The humorous press conference was hosted by the Australian duo consisting of Martinez Johnson, "Durango Slim" Peterson and their lawyer. As ’the beats are no longer fresh’, the song is to be cut from air and never played again. Another reason for this is the fact that their music has been used for many purposes it wasn’t meant to be. They elaborate on this in the press statement. This is pretty funny, check it out!
Of course, if you start to think about it a little more, you realize that this kind of a move is caused by the fact, that Yolanda Be Cool is only known for ’We No Speak Americano’.
As you might remember, the same issue has been bugging Avicii, whose megahit ’Levels’ has been shadowing everything else he’s doing (read about it here).
The Australian dance music duo wants to move on. They want their other stuff getting heard and the ’press conference’ has been a move thowards this direction. As you saw in the video, they also urged you to destroy all copies of the track you might own and visit the Yolanda Be Cool’s official website for a free replacement track titled 'Before Midnight'. The next move is a video for the free track, freshly out of the production rooms. The music video starts by showing a widow in mourning and with these kind of sad undertones. But doesn’t matter, the widow gets over the terrible loss in a matter of minutes and next thing you know, there’s topless women partying in an underground latino club. Not sure about the coherency of the concept behind this one, but at least there’s hot women dancing.
Yolanda Be Cool’s plans dont stop here. In addition to the ’press conference’ and the video, there’s going to be a massive tour promoting their forthcoming album 'Ladies and mentalmen' called accordingly ’Ladies and Mentalmen World Tour’. According to the official website, the Australian DJ/producer duo is going to be performing: ’Everywhere, starting on 30th November’. Yolanda Be Cool is #1781 in The Official Global DJ Rankings, we’ll see if they will prevail in light of these recent efforts of getting their names out there!
