Linda Di Franco – My Boss

By on March 22, 2011 in Tracks

Emotion : Suffering

Artist : Linda Di Franco

Track : My Boss (12″ Mix)

Release Details : Korova, 1986

Your first holiday together, you’ve saved up for ages to take the pair of you.

Lloret de Mar, 2 weeks of passion. Two weeks to be with her and to you it was the most exciting time of your life but she didn’t feel the same.

Within hours of stepping off the plane she’d told you she had to go for a walk as she had a headache.

That night she didn’t come back though - down at the bar she met some girls and they went up town where she copped off with a lad from Blackburn.

You walk down the beach, the beach you were supposed to walk down together. The sea laps up the sand and soaks your espadrilles.

It’s going to be a long fortnight…

Funky Family – Funky Is On

By on February 12, 2011 in Tracks

Emotion : Agony

Artist : Funky Family

Track : Funky Is On

Third Label, 1984

I feel awful today. Too many Amaretto’s and a free bottle of champagne ensures I have a head that feels like it’s in a vice.

When it all gets a bit too much you need to go balls out. You need to stick a belter on and is none better than this slice of Italo perfection.

Genius.

The Creatures – Inspiration

By on February 7, 2011 in Tracks

Emotion : Inspired

Artist : The Creatures

Track : Inspiration

Album : Believe In Yourself

Release Details : Full Time Records, 1983

What are the key ingredients of an Emotional Pop track?

A lot of key changes, references to Africa and America and a chorus that is so heart-wrenching that you need to strain in parts.

The Creatures were the in-house group at L’Altro Mondo Studios and this track, taken from ‘Believe in Yourself’ is their pièce de résistance.

Strip down to your smalls and pump your fist in jubiliation.
