On their third album, the Swedish duo of singer Sally Shapiro and producer Johan Agebj\u00f6rn venture beyond the subgenre, making successful forays into lush, drowsy synth-pop. They occasionally get back to their roots but even when they make with the swanky strobe-lit thump, they keep things light and melodic, inviting discophobic listeners past the velvet ropes. And their winning idiosyncrasies aren\u2019t solely musical. On the beat-heavy likes of \u201cIf It Doesn\u2019t Rain\u201d and \u201cArchitectured Love,\u201d Shapiro plays a peculiar sort of disco diva. She\u2019s neither an \u201cI Will Survive\u201d self-affirmer nor a taunting sex kitten. She could almost front a twee-pop band like Camera Obscura, and on the bubbly roof-raiser \u201cAll My Life,\u201d she declares independence from her mother and man in a manner that\u2019s downright polite. On the irresistibly sleek \u201cStarman,\u201d she lures with the beat but kills with her sweetness, proving once again that the dance floor need not be a dark and scary place.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SALLY SHAPIRO Somewhere Else johanagebjorn.info\/sally.html Relative to modern EDM, the \u201980s-born sound known as Italo disco is more suave and sophisticated than it is sweaty, though the goal is still to make bodies move.
