In 2009 an Australian trio with the cleverly titled name of “Cookin’ On 3 Burners” released a song called “This Girl.”
Now, seven years later, a 19-year old French DJ/Producer named Kungs has added a dance beat to the original track and both he and this R&B/pop concoction are generating big buzz in the U.S. after having already topped the charts across Europe.
This “perfect summer song” is currently on Top 40 and Adult Top 40 radio stations.
Clearly, there are elements from songs past on this production that recall grooves like the 1984 hit by the British band The Style Council and their song “My Ever Changing Moods.”
Some 32 years later Kungs’ pop production has some of that same vibe: despite life’s challenges, there is still joy and hope and beauty to celebrate.
It’s easy to suspend reality and practically jump for joy when you listen to these songs—they make you feel ageless and happy.
Should you be so lucky as to be cruising along on a lazy Sunday afternoon, breeze blowing, listening to “This Girl” by Kungs will enhance the experience.
