Stefanie Joosten – Tryouts For The Human Race (Feat. Giorgio Moroder)

With "Tryouts For The Human Race (Feat. Giorgio Moroder)", Stefanie Joosten from the Netherlands has cre­ated a song that delves into the dark corners of dark pop and syn­thwave. The col­lab­or­a­tion with Italian music pro­du­cer and com­poser Giorgio Moroder gives this track a cer­tain recog­ni­tion and an impress­ive retro flair.

With a song mood that is ener­get­ic, happy and uplift­ing, "Tryouts For The Human Race" takes us back to a time when neon lights and shim­mer­ing suits dom­in­ated the music scene. The 80s syn­thes­izers are here in full glory, giv­ing the song its unique char­ac­ter. There may be a hint of kitsch, but this is clev­erly bal­anced by the suc­cess­ful use of the synths and the song's irres­ist­ible groove.

Stefanie Joosten clev­erly weaves dark pop and syn­thwave to present a song that has a cer­tain crowd-pleas­ing pop factor. In this par­tic­u­lar case, how­ever, we can over­look this as the song offers an infec­tious beat and catchy melod­ies. It is almost impossible to res­ist bob­bing along and feel­ing joy­ful while listen­ing to it.

Lyrics of 'Stefanie Joosten – Tryouts For The Human Race (Feat. Giorgio Moroder)'

We're just gleam in lov­ers eyes
Steam on sweaty bod­ies in the night
One of us might make it through
All the rest will dis­ap­pear like dew
Pressure build­ing, get­tin' hot
Give it, give it, give it all you got
When that love explo­sion comes
My, oh my, we want to be someone
Tryouts for the human race
From Burlington to Bonn
Ah, we are a quarter bil­lion strong
Tryouts for the human race
From twi­light time 'til dawn
We just want to be someone
(Anyone)
Tryouts for the human race
From Burlington to Bonn
Ah, we are a quarter bil­lion strong
Tryouts for the human race
From twi­light time 'til dawn
We just want to be someone
We're just gleam in lov­ers eyes
Steam on sweaty bod­ies in the night
One of us might make it through
All the rest will dis­ap­pear like dew
Pressure build­ing, get­tin' hot
Give it, give it, give it all you got
When that love explo­sion comes
My, oh my, we want to be someone
Tryouts for the human race
From Burlington to Bonn
Ah, we are a quarter bil­lion strong
Tryouts for the human race
From twi­light time 'til dawn
We just want to be someone
Tryouts for the human race
From Burlington to Bonn
Ah, we are a quarter bil­lion strong
Tryouts for the human race
From twi­light time 'til dawn
We just want to be someone
(Anyone)
Tryouts for the human race
From Burlington to Bonn
Ah, we are a quarter bil­lion strong
Tryouts for the human race
From twi­light time 'til dawn
We just want to be someone
