Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Madcon irrumpe con "So dark the con of man", un álbum que, de inmediato, estableció las coordenadas de su sonido funk, soul y hip-hop con un toque inconfundiblemente nórdico. Además, este debut internacional catapultó al dúo noruego a la fama, con un estilo fresco y contagioso que resonó en las radios de todo el mundo. Por consiguiente, se convirtió en una carta de presentación vibrante para un grupo destinado a la diversión y la música global.
Las canciones exploran temas de amor, fiesta y la vida cotidiana con una honestidad lírica que conecta directamente con el oyente. Así pues, "Beggin'" se convirtió en un éxito planetario, gracias a su ingeniosa reinterpretación del clásico de The Four Seasons. Por otra parte, temas como "Back on the Road" o "Doo-Wop" son ejemplos claros de su habilidad para crear melodías pegadizas y ritmos que te hacen mover los pies sin darte cuenta. La voz de Yosef Wolde-Mariam y las rimas de Tshawe Baqwa se complementan a la perfección, añadiendo un toque de frescura y originalidad. En consecuencia, el álbum se siente como una fiesta constante, un derroche de optimismo y ritmos que invitan al baile.
"So dark the con of man" no solo marcó el nacimiento de una de las voces más singulares de la música pop-urbana, sino que también demostró la capacidad de Madcon para fusionar géneros con una naturalidad asombrosa. Asimismo, su frescura y su mensaje se mantienen intactos con el paso de los años, convirtiéndolo en un clásico que muchos recuerdan con cariño. Por lo tanto, para cualquier amante de la música con buen rollo y ritmos que invitan al movimiento, este trabajo es una adquisición esencial. En definitiva, es una prueba irrefutable de que el talento de Madcon ya brillaba con luz propia desde el principio de su camino.

- Liar
Letra
You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need Girl I'm stuck on you So it's so hard to set me free You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need You a liar, liar It was the love, pain, sweat, ties That made me stick When I was sick of the lies The years, tears, smiles, fights And now that I left you I cry through the night You was quick to slip The slicker slice I was surprised how you kept your calm And every time you admit deceit We'd hit the sheets I started livin' on the bedroom floor Probably you's a liar Yeah, tryin' to call the car Try to leave anytime But a false alarm Because you the one that did me wrong Girl you a liar! Like the beat don't stop First let it slide, before I cut in And suddenly the beat goin' stomp You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need Girl I'm stuck on you So it's so hard to set me free You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need You a liar, liar (I just wanted the truth) I said she lied to me Can't believe a word she cries Cause she lied to me No need to work things up Cause she's a dyer, a pretty bad liar But she's hot too Making it hard to move that sexy scene Cause it's not true First I thought I Never knew a love like this And this wasn't a first half order? First I caught her Givin' it a hooch? In truth, this love worse Than my first time order.? Be real, bet ya man don't lie That promise'll give the candle fry? What they say 'bout a man don't cry Cause I know it's not love proper I'm gonna die You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need Girl I'm stuck on you So it's so hard to set me free You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need You a liar, liar I said she lied to me Can't believe a word she cries Cause she lied to me No need to work things up Cause she's a dyer, a pretty bad liar But she's hot too Making it hard to move that sexy scene Cause it's not true. She seemed to be the truth (Seemed to be the truth) I bet she cheated on me too (Cheated on me too) She really got me good (Really got me good) I said she really got me good (Really got me good) Hey you the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need Girl I'm stuck on you So it's so hard to set me free You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need You a liar, liar You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need Girl I'm stuck on you So it's so hard to set me free You the first thing I would choose But the last thing I need Cause you a liar, liar. (First thing I'd choose Last thing I need) Liar, liar, liar (First thing I'd choose Last thing I need) Liar, liar, liar, liar - Hard too read
