Their new single ‘Get Lucky’ marks the end of a 8 year hiatus for Daft Punk, and they’ve come back with a slick, 70’s inspired track infused with their signature electronica. After all the teasing remixes and snippets, the real thing is here.
‘Get Lucky’ wastes no time with introductions, and jumps right in with a sound which is pure disco, evolving into Pharrell’s chorus, which sounds genuinely original and endlessly catchy.
This is classic Daft Punk through and through, in all their repetitive glory, but with catchy lyrics by the ever-smooth Pharrell Williams that should ensure the French duo extend their fanbase. With a much awaited album released in May, this may well be the year of the robot.
