“Clicked On Romance” Is Jazz For The Modern Age

I’m so happy we swiped to the right

Everything now is more than alright

I’m so grateful we gave love a chance

When we clicked on romance!

“Clicked On Romance” lyrics – Ori Dagan

Relatable and all-around hilarious, Ori Dagan’s “Clicked on Romance” blends a big band sound with the topical themes of online dating. Channeling the spirit of the legendary jazz provocateur, Johnny “Bowtie” Barstow, the single has the making to be a modern-day jazz Standard. Completely original, here is an inside look at the romantic tune’s songwriting.

Based on a true story, the subject matter of “swiping right” is oddly fresh and completely unexpected for this musical styling. Tongue-in-cheek, the silly lyrics such as “ding dittle-ittle-ding ding” creates a wholesome production that complements the already cheery ragtime sound. Collectively built off an assortment of instruments, the piano and drums work to keep the rhythm while the horns often times swoop in and steal the spotlight. Taking the cake, a manic sax solo can be heard at 1:34 of the tune creating an electrifying atmosphere alongside its tap-dancing counterpart (which is only heard on the YouTube version).

Thanks to an app called ‘Plenty of Fish’
We both got our wish!
