  • Belgian Artist Franky V! Releases Afro House Rework of “I’m Blue (Da Ba Dee)”

    Belgian Artist Franky V! Releases Afro House Rework of “I’m Blue (Da Ba Dee)”

    Belgian artist Franky V! has released a new track titled “I’m Blue (Da Ba Dee) [Afro House Vibes]”, a reinterpretation of the well-known dance classic.

    The original version was released in 1998 by Italian band Eiffel 65.  

    The production reworks the original melody into an Afro House framework, using steady percussion, deep rhythmic layers, and atmospheric elements. The result is a more relaxed, groove-focused version compared to the high-energy original.

    Rather than a direct remake, the track leans into a slower, more textured approach aimed at modern club and lounge settings such as sunset sets and late-night sessions.

    Speaking on the release, Franky V! explained his intention behind the track:

    “I wanted to take a melody everybody knows and transform it into something warm, emotional, and hypnotic — something that feels alive on today’s dancefloors while keeping the soul of the original emotion.”

    The release reflects his ongoing focus on melodic electronic music with Afro House influence and club-oriented production.

    “I’m Blue (Da Ba Dee)” by Franky V! is out now on all streaming platforms.
