|::| |::|
|::| |::|
|::| Bought from beatport.com. Thanks to you know who |::|
|::| for the support, it is really appreciated! |::|
|::| |::|
|::| |::|
|::| Were she even remotely famous, Sally Shapiro's |::|
|::| shyness would be legendary. The Swedish |::|
|::| chanteuse reportedly refuses to record her |::|
|::| vocals unless alone in the room, and she's yet |::|
|::| to perform live. All of which only adds to the |::|
|::| allure of her (or, rather, 'their': 'Sally |::|
|::| Shapiro' is also the name of the recording duo |::|
|::| comprising Shapiro and writer/producer Johan |::|
|::| Agebj÷rn) music, which is hopelessly romantic |::|
|::| and delightfully enfeebled: in short, everything |::|
|::| Kasabian are not. |::|
|::| |::|
|::| My Guilty Pleasure is a slightly more muscular |::|
|::| record than 2007's Disco Romance, which was a |::|
|::| successful attempt to replicate the |::|
|::| cheap-sounding synthesizers, detached vocals and |::|
|::| monotonous grooves of 1980s Italo-disco. My |::|
|::| Guilty Pleasure remains indebted to Italo, but |::|
|::| it sounds a teensy bit more professional and |::|
|::| less self-consciously retro: the basslines throb |::|
|::| with the depth one might expect from a late |::|
|::| noughties release, while Dying In Africa even |::|
|::| indulges in a little house-style string flourish |::|
|::| at its climax. |::|
|::| |::|
|::| The album's eleven tracks push the same pleasure |::|
|::| buzzers as the music of Shapiro's fellow |::|
|::| Scandinavian Annie: this is sophisticated |::|
|::| dance-pop that's evocative of nocturnal |::|
|::| cityscapes and pretty people pulling sad faces. |::|
|::| Following a mood-setting instrumental, Looking |::|
|::| At The Stars acts as Shapiro's musical calling |::|
|::| card: over an insistent electronic pulse, |::|
|::| Shapiro sings in a heavily-accented voice. The |::|
|::| nine tracks which follow offer only minor |::|
|::| variations on this formula. |::|
|::| |::|
|::| But My Guilty Pleasure's sameyness isn't a bad |::|
|::| thing: Shapiro's musical territory is one in |::|
|::| which you'd happily reside for a long, long |::|
|::| time. That's because her songs occupy that |::|
|::| sweet spot where melancholia meets euphoria: the |::|
|::| words may speak of sadness, but the music shows |::|
|::| a bloody-minded willingness to go out and have a |::|
|::| good time. |::|
|::| |::|
|::| Even her gran would struggle to argue that |::|
|::| Shapiro is a technically gifted singer but, of |::|
|::| course, this doesn't matter. Like Madonna, |::|
|::| Bernard Sumner or Neil Tennant before her, |::|
|::| Shapiro can't hide behind vocal histrionics to |::|
|::| mask an absence of tunes. Consequently, many of |::|
|::| her songs have a delightfully simple, sing-song |::|
|::| quality. This reaches its zenith on Jackie |::|
|::| Jackie, which resembles the kind of song |::|
|::| encountered in a Mediterranean disco while on a |::|
|::| teenage holiday and purchased several months |::|
|::| later in an effort to recreate happier, simpler |::|
|::| times. |::|
|::| |::|
|::| As for the lyrics, only the most stonehearted |::|
|::| music fan wouldn't want to offer Shapiro a hug |::|
|::| after listening to lines like "How come I don't |::|
|::| fall in love with normal people? / And how come |::|
|::| normal people don't fall in love with me? / I |::|
|::| don't think I'm that strange. / Do you think I'm |::|
|::| strange?" Not at all, Sally! You were too good |::|
|::| for him anyway! |::|
|::| |::|
|::| If there's a problem with My Guilty Pleasure, |::|
|::| it's that there isn't really a |::|
|::| stop-the-press-this-is-amazing standout track |::|
|::| for the obsessive pop fan to cherish for |::|
|::| eternity. There's nothing here to rival, say, |::|
|::| Blind by Hercules And Love Affair or With Every |::|
|::| Heartbeat by Robyn. |::|
|::| |::|
|::| That is, admittedly, setting the bar |::|
|::| stratospherically high and, besides, My Guilty |::|
|::| Pleasure provides plenty of evidence to suggest |::|
|::| that Sally Shapiro is getting closer to pop |::|
|::| nirvana. So that transcendental moment may well |::|
|::| arrive with her next release. In the meantime, |::|
|::| those needing something to occupy themselves |::|
|::| with during Annie's prolonged absence from the |::|
|::| fold will find plenty to keep them happy (and, |::|
|::| at the same time, a little bit sad) on My Guilty |::|
|::| Pleasure. |::|
