Alexandra Stan's journey to becoming among the most successful indie artistes seems like a story lifted straight out of a fairytale. Having been spotted at a karaoke bar in 2009, and subsequently signed on with a music label, she went on to deliver the much-acclaimed 2010 track, Mr Saxobeat, which bagged titles like the Best Song at the Romanian Music Awards, and Best International Song at the Los Premios 40 Principales.
"[A few years after its release] all I wanted to do was understand why it became such a [big] hit. I wanted to recreate the track's sound, and attempted to do so in [my 2014 album] Unlocked, but, eventually gave up," confesses Stan, who would have been relegated to being a one-hit wonder had it not been for the modest yet noteworthy achievements of her subsequent offerings like Lemonade and Get back.
