Darin, Electric | Midnight Heat

In the 35^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Electric” by Darin.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat ! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. Yeah, we are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 35^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Electric” by Darin.

“Wasn’t looking for nothin’ here tonight…” But, what happened, Darin (Darin Zanyar), you handsome , Swedish pop star, you? “Then you walked in, caught me by surprise / One look and you got me hypnotized / The way you glid across the floor.” We must assume this man was H-O-T !  From there, on “Electric”, Zanyar is absolved of his troubles: “When you pull me closer all my troubles disappear / Is it me or is it getting hot in here.” To quote Salt-N-Pepa, assisted by En Vogue, “Whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty good man”! Darin penned “Electric” with Jordan Shaw and producers, James Hurr and Paul Harris.  The resulting pop cut is – wait for it – ELECTRIFYING, of course!

From the onset, the listener is blessed with disco and dance-pop vibes.  The beat is sick – the groove be groovin’! The bass line is fat, providing a mighty anchor. The production is nothing short of marvelous – the perfect fuel for a sex song.  To be fair, Darin keeps things classy. Still, we all know, it’s going down beyond the dance floor! The tuneful chorus is one of the biggest selling points of the song, easily getting  stuck in the head:

“I’m falling in love, got me feeling electric

Just can’t get enough, I will never forget this

‘Cause the way you got me now, my head is in the clouds

I’m never coming down

Yeah, the way I’m falling in love got me feeling electric.”

Darin brings the heat to the vocals from the onset. Autopilot, baby! In the second verse, the ‘dancing’ becomes dirtier, with body synchronization () and T-O-U-C-H ().  On the bridge, where there is a slight contrast, Zanyar encourages them to “Go until the morning.” Hmm, are we still talking about dancing, or… Anyways, Darin makes us all hot and bothered on “Electric” which is sexy to the nth degree.
