An invitation to the pop palace for dancing, swog-and last but not least dust.
Basia Bulat Goes Disco hit? A little. If Bulat in “My Angel” is enjoying her fresh mother happiness (“How Did I live with you / all of this love is mine”), she does this into drum computers and cheesy synthesizer sounds, for which older women on the City festival would gently swing the hips. Similar to “Baby”, which groats back into the disco era with staccato strings, or the “Spirit” played around by shimmering synth areas.
In “Disco Polo”, the Canadian immigrant subsidiary remembers the music of her youth: the radio, the guitar-playing mother, the father, who likes to hear disco Polo, was the Polish equivalent to Eurodance.
Of course, the Basia Bulats seventh album is more stylish than with Eurodance, including an indulgent ballad with twang guitar, pretty strings and playful electric textures. But Bulat moves several times on the border to the slaughter-like, rascal. In the final “Curtain Call” she says goodbye to the gesture of an old-fashioned pop diva. What remains is the urge to swing the dust frond in Basia’s Palace.
