Who Is In Your Dream, Baby?

I love the Tiga album, Ciao!: it's exactly what I need from a dance album, with good beats couple with a sense of playful experimentation. "What You Need" is a good example of this: a lot of the song is just sort of bursts of atonal skronk and oscillating pulses fighting against each other to dominate the track. It's just noise in the beginning, swelling and cracking before the beat arrives to try to give it some order. The actual structure of the song, and it's hooks, are left to the drum machine, voices, and occasional chimes. Tiga is a limited singer at best, and even with a soulful backup singer to sweeten things a bit, he should not be up to the task. The song starts and stops, slows down and speeds up. The song is sort of anarchic, which is something that you don't often associate with dance music: the vigorous necessity of the beat generally prevents this sort of messiness. In short, the song shouldn't work. But it really kind of does.
