Basshunter: 'Angel In The Night'

Released on Monday, Sep 29 2008

Basshunter, the man, is actually a lot of fun: hyperactive, uninhibited and almost entirely preoccupied with getting laid. When his album debuted at number one on the UK charts, he told DS that it felt like "every cell in my entire body was having a major orgasm". If Leona Lewis said such a thing, Simon Cowell would go bald in an instant.

But Basshunter, the musician, is almost unbearably tedious. 'Angel In The Night' doesn't sound exactly like his other singles - this one features a guitar riff - but other than that it's business as usual for the sex-obsessed Swede: throbbing Eurodance beats, keyboard sounds that should be illegal in 2008 and his own tuneless, deadpan vocals over the top. How can such an energetic, excitable man make music this lifeless?

Basshunter, is the best ever. His music is up beat, and you can dance to it. The lyrics have meanings to them.. I don't see why you think he makes his music lifeless! His music is fun.

So what if it's doing well in the charts, just shows there are alot of moronic chavs out there downloading this crap. Thick music for thick people!!!

I Think Basshunter's New Song Is Great, He Is Mint And An Amazing Artist. He Can Sing, Mix And He's Even In His Own Video's. I Think HGe's Great!

It sounds like a b-side off the Cheeky Girls album!

Well as the third single off the album and having not even been released on CD Single yet, its doing rather well in the charts. Why? Cause its a good tune, that's why!!

Who still buys this stuff? It was horribly dated in the mid 90's for godsake. There's so much great dance music out there, why you would waste a second of your life on this trash is beyond me. Dire.
