HOT SONG
French DJ and producer Martin Solveig's single "Hello" (Big Beat/Atlantic) has been bouncing around the clubs for months. Now, thanks to a Trident commercial and some forward-thinking radio folks, the poppy dance number, with its plinky synths and sweet vocals from Dragonette, is making a run at mainstream radio. Its cool new-wave feel and Europop catchiness make it a potential winner in the summer song sweepstakes.
