about

Wera is young, and you can hear it. Her voice will instantly convince you, with all its charm. California Daddy, originally released in September, is a very catchy pop song about knowingly approaching a mistake, yet still enjoying it. It’s about the little devil that each of us carries inside, and sometimes dares to play with. Doing not the right thing sometimes feels so good, with all the confusion, anger, love and passion it bears. This song dares to be innocent and slick at the same time. As does Wera.

Sorry the Hedgehog, known for his versatile, playful approach to other people’s music, aims to bring a darker colour to this summery pop song: It’s a deep blue, to be precise. His remix is more of a re-work, honing much of the structure of the original, and at the same time giving it a rather mature-sounding, cooling edge with a dose of his trademark kinks.

Given Sorry’s track record, the arrangement is surprisingly sparse and clear. The beat is rather simplistic, an ice-cold pad sound and an Erasure-ish arpeggio synth build most of the melodic foundation, while some trance-inducing percussion is meandering in the background – all still placing Wera’s distinctive vocals at the very front. Yet it wouldn’t be a Sorry production if he didn’t twist and play with vocals bits and juggled samples, making it both entertaining to listen and unbearable to not dance to it. Damn, this is a match in heaven!
