New Sally Shapiro Video, MP3: “Love In July”

Here’s the new video for “Love in July”, the latest single off of Sally Shapiro’s upcoming album My Guilty Pleasure. I think Pixar might have a copyright infringement case on their hands here…only in this case the special effects are really cheesy…but cheesy in a way that only the swedes can make it work. You crazy swedes you. As Sally describes: ” In this music video a whale and a fish fall in love, get surrounded by ice, but the sun of July melts the ice and makes love possible.”

Like i said, you lovable, crazy swedes you.

I’ve been listening to an early copy of My Guilty Pleasure and I have to say that i think Shapiro fans will dig it; maybe not as good as Disco Romance, as it’s less of a dancy affair, but still really good for late summer nights. Not sure what that means, but it makes sense to me. Think less Annie and more Chromatics style on this one.

MP3: Sally Shapiro ‘Miracle’ Remix

Sally Shapiro just released her first single, “Miracle”, last week and is now offering up a remix by Bogdan Irkük. Yah umlauts. It’s more good space-disco jams. If you like Sally’s previous stuff, or lindtrom you will probably love this. It goes through various keys as well as what almost seems like various acts, and sometimes gets a bit redundant, but i’m s sucker for this stuff. Did we mention she’s coming out with a new album?

Sally Shapiro to Release My Guilty Pleasure Aug. 25th

Via Sally Shapiro’s myspace blog:

Hello everyone

The second Sally Shapiro album “My Guilty Pleasure” will be released on August 25th and is currently at the pressing plant! It features collaborations with Cloetta Paris and Tensnake and a lot of songwriting assistance from Roger Gunnarsson. On the whole it’s a romantic pop disco album just like “Disco Romance” but maybe a bit more varied in style. We’re very happy with it.

New Johan Agebjörn (Sally Shapiro’s producer) Remix

I wonder if Johan Agebjörn is always gonna have to put Sally Shapiro in parenthesis after his name. He really shouldn’t as he’s a great “producer” in his own right, but i guess Agebjörn isn’t the easiest name to remember (ok, maybe i just keep using his name to show off my umlaut typing skills). This is a remix he did for Swedish band Friday Bridge that is a nice down-tempo, yet still dancey, disco-house number (shocker) that sounds like the spaced out stuff I have come to expect from Agebjörn. Apparently Friday Bridge are pretty big over in that neck of the woods.

btw – there were 5 umlaut’s used in this post…a new Quarterlieparty record!
