"Mr. Saxobeat" is a song by Romanian singer Alexandra Stan, released on 12 September 2010 as the second single from her debut studio album, Saxobeats (2011). The track was written and produced by Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi, and was recorded at their Maan Studio. Musically, "Mr. Saxobeat" is a Eurodance and dance-pop song, with its instrumentation consisting of notably saxophone and horn as well as 'conventional' synth and techno sound. The lyrics echo the singer's vision of a perfect man. Reviewers were positive towards the recording, with them praising its catchiness, the saxophone sequences and Stan's voice.

"Mr. Saxobeat" received award nominations at the 2011 Romanian Music Awards and Los Premios 40 Principales 2011, as well as at the 2012 Echo Music Prize. Commercially, it became the singer's breakthrough single, reaching the top ten of the charts in more than 20 countries and being awarded various certifications. As of June 2013, the track sold almost one million units worldwide in less than a year. For promotion, an accompanying music video was shot by Iulian Moga in Buftea, Romania. Uploaded on YouTube on 14 November 2010, it depicts Stan and two friends being arrested, interviewed by the police, put in jail and then escaping from the station. The singer performed the track on multiple occasions, and it was covered by artists such as Selena Gomez & the Scene and Omega. "Mr. Saxobeat" was also featured on television series and on video games Dance Central 3 and Just Dance 4.

Background and release

In her youth, Alexandra Stan participated in various music-related contests, including the Mamaia Music Festival in 2009.^[1]^[2] She was discovered by Romanian producers and songwriters Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi that same year at a karaoke bar in Constanța. They offered her a record deal with their label, Maan Records, and she recorded a promotional single titled "Show Me the Way".^[2] The singer rose to fame in Romania with the release of her debut single, "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" (2009), which was given radio airplay.^[1] It also caught the attention of the management behind the Azerbaijani energy drink Trojka, who approached her with the idea of creating a song to be featured in a commercial for their product. This resulted in "Trojka", a song which would however eventually become the singer's next release, "Mr. Saxobeat".^[3] It was recorded at Maan Studios, with the writing and production handled by Prodan and Nemirschi; the mastering was done by Tom Coyne in New York City.^[4]^[5] In a 2021 interview, Stan stated that she was displeased about not being credited as a composer on the song, claiming that she had been involved in the writing process. Saxophone was added to "Mr. Saxobeat" since Stan thought it appealed to the Azerbaijani people and culture; she ended up scrapping an older refrain idea in favour of singing the same melody as the saxophone in the chorus.^[3] The song was released on 12 September 2010 and was soon after sent to local radio stations.^[5]

Composition

"Mr. Saxobeat" is written in the key of B minor, while its tempo is set at 126 beats per minute. Stan's vocals span from F#₃ to D₅;^[8] Maura Johnston from Village Voice compared her delivery to that of Rihanna "in its weary hoarsines".^[6] The song is of the Eurodance and dance-pop genres.^[6]^[7] Alongside the "ridiculously catchy" saxophone loop which is played and composed by Cosmin Basasteanu,^[9]^[10] the track's instrumentation also includes "twinkly" synths, techno beats and horn.^[7] The saxophone prominently features a trill, "a very popular effect in sax house records", with it being digitally chopped to bits. Tris McCall from The Star-Ledger wrote, "The link between the saxophone and sexual expression is a long-standing one [...] Breath is tactile and sensuous, and the explosive sound of a sax in full blast carries with it some of the mad rush of desire."^[11]

Regarding the saxophone, Stan said when interviewed, "I consider saxophone a very hot and sexy instrument which is also very used in my region."^[12] Josh Baines from Vice described the track as a "Balkanized club ballad", further comparing its sound to Yolanda Be Cool and DCUP's "We No Speak Americano" (2010). Billboard called "Mr. Saxobeat" a "one-off mainstream dance single" along with "We No Speak Americano".^[13] During the lyrics, Stan sings, "You make me this, bring me up, bring me down, plays it sweet/Make me move like a freak, Mr. Saxobeat", which Baines wrote was Stan's "vision of the perfect man". He also wrote, "The second verse informs us that he's a 'sexy boy' who can set Stan 'free,' but that he's just as 'shy' as he is 'dirty.' Mr. Saxobeat, so it would seem, contains multitudes."^[14] Echoing this thought, Stan stated on German television ARD that "Mr. Saxobeat" was only her vision of the perfect man.^[12]

Reception and accolades

The song was met with positive reviews by music critics. During a review of Saxobeats, Celeste Rhoads from AllMusic saw "Mr. Saxobeat" as a club sensation along with "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" (2009) and "Get Back (ASAP)" (2011).^[15] Rodrigo of Yam Magazine wrote, "One day, I heard Mr. Saxobeat by accident and I was instantly hooked. Thanks to its insanely catchy saxophone riffs and Stan's voice, Mr. Saxobeat is a very fun, upbeat song that you can smile and dance to no matter where you are. Plus, the song works like a charm for parties."^[16] Both NME's El Hunt and McCall of The Star-Ledger associated the song with the revival of the saxophone in music.^[11]^[17] The Hollywood Reporter's Shirley Halperin listed the saxophone sequences in "Mr. Saxobeat" in her list of "12 Awesome Sax Solos".^[18] Johnston, writing for Village Voice, said "the way they're employed" sounded like Pitbull's "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" (2009).^[6] In his book Stars of 21st Century Dance Pop and EDM: 33 DJs, Producers and Singers ... author James Arena listed it in his "range of sounds that make up the world of the twenty-first century dance music".^[19] Fans of the recording include British singer Ellie Goulding, who praised it in a Twitter post in November 2016.^[20] At the 2011 Romanian Music Awards, "Mr. Saxobeat" won Best Song and was nominated for Best Dance Song.^[21]^[22] The track also received a nomination for Best International Song at the Los Premios 40 Principales 2011,^[23] and for Hit of the Year at the 2012 Echo Music Prize.^[24]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Mr. Saxobeat" was filmed in Buftea, Romania by Iulian Moga on 1 November 2010.^[63] The clip was uploaded onto YouTube on 14 November 2010.^[64] A behind-the-scenes video was previously aired in November 2010 by Romanian television Music Channel.^[65] Los 40 Principales cited the video for "Mr. Saxobeat" as one of Stan's best clips ever.^[66] The video begins with scenes of police officers bringing a handcuffed Stan into a room of a police station to interrogate her along with two of her female friends. When she and her friends refuse to give the police any information, they lock them in a jail cell. Stan coaxes and successfully seduces the guard, while her friends steal his police equipment before locking him inside the cell and escaping. The group enters a dressing room where they find police outfits and disguise themselves as officers. They locate the chief's office and hold the police chief and other workers at gun point while duct-taping their mouths and hands to the chief's desk. Stan and her friends exit the office and walk inconspicuously through the front lobby and out of the building. Cut scenes show Stan dancing in her cell or her with her friends in police uniform.^[64]

Live performances and covers
