The article was published on the website of the newspaper “New York Times” on May 29, 2013 and is headlined "It’s Happy, It’s Danceable and It May Rule Summer". This article reports at length about the musicians, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo,and their hit “Get Lucky.”
The author of the article, James C. and McKinley Jr., report that Daft Punk group is known for kitschy robot costumes, machinelike vocals and computer-generated beats. Since their single was released on April 19, the song has rapidly ascended to No. 4 on the Billboard singles chart, making it an early candidate to become the song of the summer.
Analyzing the text, we find out that the album, Daft Punk’s first since 2010, has sold 339,000 copies since it was released last week, putting the group on par with more mainstream acts like Pink and Dave Matthews.
What is more, the song is getting airplay and generating requests from listeners across several radio formats -Top 40, hip-hop, alternative, even Spanish-language pop stations. As for its content, it convey a rapturous message about finding a soul mate at a dance party.
Mr. Bangalter and Mr. de Homem-Christo, who declined to be interviewed for this article, have told reporters that they started working on the album in 2008. It is important to mention that “Get Lucky” took more than 18 months to write. the problem was that the group wanted to depart from their usual way of operating and recapture what they call the “golden age” of recording in the late 1970s. They abandoned playing the parts themselves and relying heavily on drum machines, computerized loops and samples of disco and rock records.
The author remarks that many teenagers only know Daft Punk through “Tron,” the duo’s 2010 album, or through Kanye West, who sampled one of its earlier songs for his 2006 hit “Stronger.”
To sum it up I'd like to say that I like this song. It has an upbeat message and danceable beat. It is catchy, but I don't think that it will be a summer hit as it doesn't have something original.
