As a complete contrast to the bulk of my reviews, this time I have chosen something rather upbeat and commercial. Without a shadow of doubt, Ayda Rastgoo’s “Drüber weg” fits the bill as the white to my usual black. This is a groovy dance number, sung in her native German, with a bright and jolly pop feel, conveys a confident vocal performance. The joyful vibe is rounded off with some playful piano, funky bass and disco strings.
At just 20, Ayda already has an impressive musical CV: a classically trained pianist since five, she won first prize at Jugend Musiziert in 2019 and reached the finals of The Voice of Persia. Her music has also carried a powerful message, with her protest song “Nemikham” becoming a viral success. “Drüber weg” shows another side of this talented young artist - fun, polished and full of positive energy.
