Get Lucky Deconstructed

Get Lucky is a global hit anomaly. How many people would have ever thought that a retro Disco/Funk/R&B song that feels like it was plucked right out of the 1970’s could top the charts in 2013 and become the feel good hit of the summer?

Not many.

But when you take into account various factors including the retro vibe that has permeated the current mainstream, the return of Daft Punk in reinvented form, the collaboration with veteran hitmaker Nile Rodgers, the vocal talent of Pharrell Williams, exceptional craft and a vibe that connects on a “human” level, all things are possible.

To date Get Lucky has hit #1 on 25 charts and landed in the top 10 in 34 countries.

And MUCH More!
