Belgian indie pop band Hooverphonic have just released this week their 9th studio album “In wonderland”.
First single is the electro pop flavoured track “Badaboum”.
The new album, containing ten songs, see many guest artists including London-born singer/cellist Janie Price AKA Bird for the title track “In wonderland” and ” I like the way I dance”; singer songwriter Felix Howard for “God’s gift” and “Moving”.
“The songs were recorded in different locations, including a small Norwegian island, a town near Milan, a London living room and our Belgian studio. All these tracks are collaborations and the singers all co-wrote their tunes, which are all drastically different. Partnerships broaden your horizons; they keep you fresh and on your toes whilst allowing you to evolve. Standing still is like going backwards. Interbreeding with other artists will draw you out of your comfort zone” said Alex Callier, the main Hooverphonic’s programmer/composer/producer.
Lyrics:
Badaboum, badaboum
Badaboum, badaboum
Badaboum, badaboum
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Baby, don’t you know
You’ve got to suck it up and let him go
He calls you baby, but can’t you see
You’re gonna wind up in a mess like me
No you don’t understand, he’s an innocent man
Nothing to do with your sinister plan
He’s under my thumb
Now you know that’s a lie
He won’t be happy ‘til he makes you cry
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Baby, don’t you know
It really hurts to see you suffer so
He calls you baby but can’t you see
You’re only living in a fantasy
No you misunderstood when I said he was good
I simply meant he does me like you never could
When I’m under his thumb and he’s making me…
Baby, if that’s the way you feel it’s best I go
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum hey ho t’es tombée sur un salaud
Patatras eh ah c’est sûrement celui de trop
Badaboum, badaboum
Badaboum, badaboum
Badaboum, badaboum
