SALLY SHAPIRO
Rating: 8.5 of 10
"Songwriter/producer Johan Agebjörn and his publicity-shy Swedish muse resurrect Italo disco as a vehicle for deeply nostalgic and sorrowful Swedish indie pop, resulting in a eloquent, auspicious debut album. Agebjörn's tracks build gradually, drop melodies that could melt whatever global warming leaves behind, and then hold on for dear life, while vocalist Sally Shapiro's guileless vocals put an angelic face on her producer's melancholy."

"Smoochy Swedish synth-pop starring Sally Shapiro, a butter face who’s always falling in love or breaking up with that special guy and isn’t afraid to sing about it. The music is this bittersweet electronic disco designed for fans of Alden Tyrell and Valerie Dore. For the girls, it’s Gwen Stefani’s “Cool” swaddled in the softest reindeer fur."

One of the best albums of last year
