Hypnotized! Catchy and kitschy - tenor Ivanhoe’s latest release is a stunner. The first notes with an operatic touch roll out in darkness and pain only to explode at the refrain in a truly ABBA-like way with a hint of nu-disco and even some inspirations of Claude François. Kitschy? Yes. Catchy? Oh, yeaaaah!
It’s a lovely cocktail with the slice of forbidden fruit adorning the glass of joyful and vivid heavenly nectar.
As the divine and the devious in human beings, the verses and the refrain collide sending heaps of sparkle and rhythm into the air.
Here is a House remix of the song.
Lyrics:
Like an angel with a demonic soul,
Like a lovely poisonous flower
You're a danger with a neon glow,
No one can resist your power.
You play kitten, but you are a tiger,
Your sparkling eyes are like a trap.
You're so calm but you're an exciter.
I am running, but there's no escape
The scent of your skin makes me hypnotized.
One step away from sin, the air is magnetized.
You make me hurt, but you make me happy.
Tell me what's on your mind this time?
You're a wolf pretending to be a puppy.
Come on now, just commit your crime!
Like a demon, but you are a saint...
Like a rose with sharp thorns.
You’re danger in war paint,
An angel with devil horns.
The scent of your skin makes me hypnotized.
One step away from sin, the air is magnetized.
This lyrical piece explores the complex and contrasting emotions that arise from a tumultuous love affair. The narrator is irresistibly drawn to their lover, describing the allure with vivid imagery like the scent of their skin and the magnetic air. At the same time, this person is depicted as both a source of happiness and pain, embodying dualities such as a wolf in sheep's clothing or a demon disguised as a saint. The recurring refrain of being 'one step away from sin' underscores the temptation and moral conflict at the heart of the relationship. The song delves into the intoxicating, dangerous allure of a love that captivates but also threatens to consume.
