Do you have almost super-human hearing when it comes to saxophone tracks? Do you find yourself sitting at dinner in a noisy restaurant with your partner or friends, when suddenly you notice the background music has a saxophone line? Do you suddenly stop your conversation in mid-sentence to listen to the sax solo or riff?<\/p>\n
If you’re anything like me, this happens to you on a regular basis. It happens so often to me, that it has become a running joke among our circle of friends.<\/p>\n
Last night we were at a party, when my super-sax-sensing-radar went off again. The song I heard was a modern pop song\u2014one that I hadn’t heard before. Through all the noise and talking that was going on I hadn’t been listening to the words, but I had noticed that the song had a typical dance beat. Then all of a sudden there it was: a sax riff.<\/p>\n
Fortunately the host of the party was using one of the CBC Galaxie<\/a> radio stations to provide the commercial-free music for the evening. This morning I was able to go to the Galaxie website, and through their online listing of songs check what they played over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n The song that that got my sax senses tingling, was called Burning<\/em>, by the Canadian artist Mia Martina<\/a>. The song is off her debut album Devotion<\/em>, which was released in August 2011.<\/p>\n
