"Let the Beat Go On" is a song recorded by Swedish musician and producer Dr. Alban. It was released by Cheiron in August 1994 as the third single from Alban's third studio album, ''Look Who's Talking'' (1994).

It charted in many European countries, peaking at number-one in Spain, number three in Finland and number nine in Belgium. Jonathan Bate directed the accompanying music video. Critical reception Larry Flick from ''Billboard'' magazine wrote that Dr. Alban "should easily match the success of the previous 'Away from Home' with this jaunty ditty, which combines elements of pop/rave, hi-NRG, and electro-trance. His tense vocal snaps over a twinkling array of keyboards that will remind some of vintage Giorgio Moroder. Behind the frenzied vocal/synth action is a giddy pop chorus that never leaves the brain after the first spi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
