Owl City: Fireflies
ADAM Young is the mastermind behind a music collaboration which has taken Fireflies to No. 1 spot in the US Billboard chart in November 2009 and US iTunes chart.
It is the fastest selling electronic track of all-time and has now conquered the UK chart. Young has fashioned an elegant and seemingly effortless connection between fashionably arty electro pop and fresh-faced, sweetly melancholic hit factory songwriting.
Owl City pop has a purity of purpose – an innocence that breathes fresh air in to the electro-pop revival.
It sounds like a sparkling wintry day in a place full of nature, rather than electronic music’s usual urban nocturnal vibe.
