“You Could Be More As You Are”
Saada Bonaire (out Nov 12 on Captured Tracks)
This is really cool. The always reliable Captured Tracks is re-releasing this forgotten LP from this 80’s new-wave/disco duo from Bremen, Germany. In the midst of recording back in 1984, EMI pulled the plug on the album due to budget constraints, and nearly thirty years later, the disc gets its proper release. Superb lead single, “You Could Be More As You Are,” is dripping with sultry, รก la mode attitude, buoyant synths, and funky bass licks. The disc sounds incredibly modern, thanks to the renewed influence of world music and new age in today’s pop music, and it’s fascinating to stumble on a relic that still sounds ahead of its time, 30 years later.
