Slut Pop Miami

Finally the long wait is over. One of Sweden's most classic synthpop acts Saft returns with the followup to their praised comeback album "Norrbacka". If "Norrbacka" was sort of a collection of tracks made over the years this album is a 100% new start going fresh. The production, the songs EVERYTHING sounds better than ever. Of course that classic catchyness wanting you to sing along to all the tracks that Saft has ALWAYS possessed is still there. A stunning album for sure. The limited edition which comes with a bonus CD signed by mastermind and singer Carl Steinmarck hold 7 tracks including a remake of the old synthpop classic "Undantag".

After several albums as the featured singer in the Miami Sound Machine, Gloria Estefan finally stepped up to top billing on Let It Loose, and her coming-out party became a major success. The album features no fewer than four Top 10 singles, including the hot Latino club grooves of "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and "1-2-3," and the sweet, affecting ballads "Anything for You" and "Can't Stay Away from You." By the time of the album's release in 1987, Estefan had not yet grown into the assured and charismatic singer she would become. And some of the songs here bear the cheesy production techniques of their time. Overall, however, Let It Loose shows an artist beginning to assert herself with considerable charm and élan.
