The Jackson 5‘s “ABC” is probably your favorite classic track from the legendary American boy band. And the good news is you can hear it all over again with a funky, Disco-infused dose that only Dombresky (under his Disco Dom alias) could pull off with his new remix.
Keeping the unforgettable vibe of the original driven by an 11-year-old Michael Jackson’s iconic vocals, this version hits different because it’s way more danceable. Plus, the sound is super crisp, and the violin strings work magic with a glamorous touch.
The music video is basically live footage of a recent DJ set from the French producer who’s been taking over lately. Go take a look!
The Perfect Disco Makeover
Undoubtedly, some jams are untouchable. You don’t just mess with Motown royalty without knowing what you’re doing. Nevertheless, Dombresky stepped up to the plate, taking The Jackson 5’s “ABC” and turning it into a weapon for modern club sets.
Instead of destroying the nostalgic vibe, this amazing rework dials the groove up to eleven. It wraps those feel-good vocals around a chunky bassline and infectious beats, making it impossible not to nod your head.
Moreover, it’s funky due to its joyful rhythm, and it bridges generations of music lovers in the best way possible. A non-negotiable for your Spotify Disco playlist.
How The Jackson 5 Took Over The Charts
Released way back in the 70s by Motown Records, “ABC” was written by The Corporation (a team consisting of Berry Gordy, Freddie Perren, Deke Richards, and Fonce Mizell). It was famously designed to knock The Beatles’ “Let It Be” off the number-one spot on the US Billboard Hot 100, and guess what? It totally worked!
Anchored by Michael Jackson’s explosive delivery and the tune’s bouncy textures, it quickly became a timeless soulful masterpiece.
Decoding “ABC” The Jackson 5 Lyrics
At its core, the message behind “ABC” by The Jackson 5 is nothing less than sheer youthful optimism.
Therefore, by using the alphabet and arithmetic as clever metaphors (“ABC, easy as 1, 2, 3”), the song simplifies the complex ups and downs of love, reminding you that romance can be as straightforward as learning the absolute basics.
