"I Like (The Trumpet)" is a single by Romanian singers DJ Sava and Raluka released on radio version on March 30, 2010. [7] The song peaked at number one in the Romania Top 20 chart, [8] spending twenty-five weeks there, and a total of six weeks in the most-broadcast songs on Romanian radio stations in the 2010s (and Top 100), peaking the lists on four occasions. [9]
The song was nominalized at the Best DJ category at the 2011 edition of the Romanian Music Awards. [10]
Starting from the spring of 2009, the Romanian musician DJ Sava contacted the dance-house music singer Raluka in order to produce single discs. [11] The collaboration of the two resulted in a first hit, entitled "September" and released in 2009, which enjoyed favorable reactions, both from the public and media. [12] [13] Taking into account the success achieved, Sava and Raluka continued their collaboration, and over the course of "a few days of recording" a new track, entitled "I Like (The Trumpet)", was produced. [14] The song was produced by the Rappin On recording studio owned by Connect-R who also recorded some of the track's background vocals [6] and supervised by Cat Music. [5] In an interview for Romanian television channel Acasă, Raluka stated that "DJ Sava expected success even before the lyrics and vocals were ready... he liked the instrumental very much". [14]
The release of the song which was officially titled "I Like (The Trumpet)" took place on March 30, 2010, on DJ Sava's website Archived 2010-06-18 at the Wayback Machine , [15] but also on a few other online publications such as Libertatea and Kiss FM. [16] However, promotion of the song's very own CD began in the middle of the same month, with the release of a sample of the song online. [17] [18] On 20 May 2010, the song "I Like (The Trumpet)" was re-released, with the new version of the single disc containing seven remixes. [19] [20] On the same date, the official cover of the hit, produced by Dave G.raphics was released. [2]
The perception of critics, fans and listeners on the song was generally positive. The Libertatea newspaper gave the single "I Like (The Trumpet)" a favorable review, claiming that the song brings up "a fresh sound and a very interesting beat". [3] The same source nominated the composition among the "hits of the summer of 2010". [3] Romanian magazine "Salut" shared the same opinion, stating the following: "Raluka has an amazing voice and manages to impose a slight change in style to the song". [21] Other sites observed "an original sound compared to domestic club productions" and stated that I Like (The Trumpet) manages to establish itself from the first listen as a different creation in style, which, however, preserves the same popular nightclub house genre". [22] Following the performance of the song from the Romanian morning reality show "Neața with Răzvan and Dani", the national online press remarked that "Raluka sang live 100% and proved once again that she is a very talented artist, full of energy and optimism". [23]
Since the release of the song, in the virtual environment, the song "I Like (The Trumpet)" has enjoyed success. [24] A few weeks after its publication, the song had obtained over half a million cumulative views on YouTube. [25] As a result of the success achieved, DJ Sava and Raluka decided to shoot a video for the song, which was to be produced in Ukraine. [26] Contrary to the statements, the two artists filmed in Salina Turda in early June 2010. [27] Directed by Dragoș Buliga, the video was officially launched on June 16 via the Libertatea website and has a predominantly military theme. [28] [29]
