Cobra Starship Feat. Sabi – You Make Me Feel

Anyone only familiar with Cobra Starship from earlier work ‘Snakes On A Plane’ (I think it was on some film soundtrack) might be a little perplexed by ‘You Make Me Feel’. In place of the electro-tinged pop-rock with which they made their name, it seems the band have morphed into an out-and-out dance act.

Which is not to say this is an unwelcome transformation. If Cobra Starship have caught the house bug, it clearly suits them. With its four to the floor beats, lashings of phased synths and liberal use of the vocoder, ‘You Make Me Feel’ has proper dancefloor chops. Bringing Sabi on board certainly helps. The former Britney Spears collaborator adds the big diva vocals that are an essential ingredient in any proper club banger.

But rather than a wholesale conversion to dance music, ‘You Make Me Feel’ is really just the latest in a list of ongoing stylistic shifts. “That’s always something we try to take into consideration,” the band’s Alex Suarez told The Aquarian. “What’s really important in making a record for us is really exploring different genres, you know? Like we’d be like, “Hey why don’t we do a song that sounds like a T.I. record, just to see what happens?” I feel like from the very beginning we’ve been pretty cross-genre in our albums, which is cool.”

The other tracks which have surfaced from the band’s latest album, ‘Night Shades’, seem to back up these claims. Cobra Starship display a commendable reluctance to be pigeonholed, so it’s probably best to continue expecting the unexpected.
