Romanian beauty Sabina Alexandrescu, better known as just 'Sabina' emerged last year when she busted onto the scene seemingly out of no where with her self titled E.P "Sabina" which was downloaded for free over a million times since it's May 2014. Sabina also has managed to release a hit record and even score a prestigious win at last years Fan Choice Awards but prior to the E.P and early success, Sabina does certainly have a history. Trail of the tape for everyone who isn't exactly familiar with the 22 year old songstress? The passionate young singer hailing from Romania has actually been active since 2011 and after being a part of a failed group with two other singers, the soon to be star went onto pursue her dream as a soloist. She quickly started performing in small venues in Romania in 2012 and 2013, hosting a string of events and performing. In late 2013, Sabina provided vocals for Romanian duo "Play & Win" on a track called Don't Try To Stop Me.
The single was a major success on the Romanian club scene as Sabina's elegant and compelling vocals carried over well with the listeners, along with it's slick production values. After the single, Sabina quickly and officially launched her solo career got in the studio to formulate the E.P that we now know as "SABINA: EP" as said earlier, the free 6 track track E.P was downloaded over a million times. The E.P's first single "Drunk Enough" came shortly after the release of the E.P in the summer and became a big hit for an independent artist, reaching the #3 position. The critically acclaimed single was soon followed by "Show's Over" which attained moderate success just missing the top 5 and resting at #6. Coming closer to the end of 2014, Sabina soon more of a taste of stardom when she was nominated for three Fan Choice Awards in the categories of "Best Single" for Drunk Enough, Sexiest Female, and finally "Artist To Watch", and the end of the night, Sabina walked away with the award for "Sexiest Female". Capping off the end of the year, Sabina lauched a club tour which folded in December of 2014. Sabina the announced that she had already been working on her first full length studio album that was slated for a 2015 release and that she was super "excited" to release the new music in the new year.
It seems that Sabina was not lying at all. Within the first quarter of the new year, Alexandrescu is ready to release her first single from the album. In December of 2014, Sabina entered the studio with popular production duo "The Wolverines" looking to create some new music for her album. In the studio, all three brainstormed on the exact direction of where she wanted to go musically for her first official release. One thing that Sabina wanted to do was move away from the heavy Romanian influence that was mostly present on her E.P on all six tracks. Of course, there will be a sling of Romanian pop on the album because that's just who Sabina is and what she grew up listening to, but she expressed the feeling that she wanted the sound to be more universal and easy for people to take to and one specific track that The Wolverine's worked on just for Sabina was sent over to her and she instantly fell in love with it and began writing a record that would become "Head To Toe". In early January, Sabina and The Wolverines recorded the track in the studio and shortly after the track was mixed and finalized and was ready a release.
Head To Toe was then birthed. "Head To Toe" is the first single by Romanian pop star Sabina from her soon to be titled debut album and will be released on February 14th, 2015. The song was produced by production duo "The Wolverines" and was written by the performer, Sabina. The single couldn't have been released at a better time, on Valentines day as the record is a fresh and fun love record that pits a female catalyst confessing her deep love and infatuation with her male counterpart. The love is so deep that she often feels a shot of adrenaline through her body when he gets close to her and Sabina explains this deep love through deep lyrics but this is certainly no tear jerker for valentines day. Production wise, the song is lovely slice of dance pop that offers not only a bouncy, elegant bassline filled with synths and massively catchy chorus that offers us a burst of more synths and a electronic backing beat that could easily get you moving. Sabina's performance is also astounding, the singer's voice is simply made for these type of records as her vocals possess a lot of personality and is very smooth and enjoyable to listen to since she really captures the emotion needed to sing these records for it to come across as authentic it also helps that Sabina's Romanian accent is heard, and is something that has since become her signature while singing, you simply just know it's her since no one sings like the way she does. Head To Toe, is a dance record that could be blasted at a party, in your car, or in your headphones at the gym or just when you want to listen to think about how great your partner is. It's the type of love songs that is not only catchy and is the type of record to be embraced by record, but could serve as many different purposes outside of it's general topic, which is love.
Sabina - Head To Toe
It's been a rough road gettin' here
But I wouldn't trade a single day
All my pain, my faults, my fears
With your sweet touch, they fade away
I look into your soft eyes
Where so much faith and love resides
Boy you know what you do to me
It don't take a genius to see
You make me high when I feel low
With you all of my worries go
I can feel your breath on my skin
And see you smile as I lean in
I've never been in a love like this
We seal it all with one slow kiss
My heart flies off and says adios
When you and I get this closeIt's like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe (head to toe)
You make me feel real, you're my get up and go (get up and go)
Feel the rhythm of my heartbeat, bounce, bounce,(feel it bounce)
I cant live without you, no, no, no..(oh no)
Its like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe (head to toe)
You're like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe(head to toe) We may be a million miles away
But boy let me just say
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than in your arms where I can see
How strong you love, and feel your touch
That I crave so much
The ticking of the clock, seems like an eternity,
But once you're here, time dissolves into ecstasy,
Rivers run delicate, so serene,
Let your presence wash over me,
You make me high when I feel low
With you all of my worries go
I can feel your breath on my skin
And see you smile as I lean in
I've never been in a love like this
We seal it all with one slow kiss
My heart flies off and says adios
When you and I get this closeIt's like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe (head to toe)
You make me feel real, you're my get up and go (get up and go)
Feel the rhythm of my heartbeat, bounce, bounce,(feel it bounce)
I cant live without you, no, no, no..(oh no)
Its like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe (head to toe)
You're like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe(head to toe)
Moonlight promises, echoing through the night,
A lifetime of knowing you, always a shining light,
Feel the wind blow, through the trees,
Let your presence, overtake me,
It's like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe (head to toe)
You make me feel real, you're my get up and go (get up and go)
Feel the rhythm of my heartbeat, bounce, bounce,(feel it bounce)
I cant live without you, no, no, no..(oh no)
Its like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe (head to toe)
You're like a shot of adrenaline, from head to toe(head to toe)
