Baccara - I Belong To Your Heart (New Baccara)

Lovely disco duo Baccara got their big break in 1977 with the single "Yes Sir, I Can Boogie". Now, María Mendiola and Cristina Sevilla are finally back with new material. The single is called "I Belong To Your Heart" and has an amazing eighties retro sound, just the type of music I love.

Does the sound sound familiar? Well that's because Luis Rodríguez produced it, just like he did with the duo's eighties singles "Fantasy Boy", "Touch Me" and "Call Me Up", when they called themselves New Baccara. He also worked with artists such as Modern Talking, C.C. Catch, Sweet Connection and Blue System.

Check out the video down below. The track is available from iTunes, Spotify and Amazon UK. Let's make it a hit!

Robert DeLong - Don't Wait Up

My dear friend Sven recently recommended this song to me: "Don't Wait Up" by Robert DeLong, an American electronic musician and singer. Sven knows me so well. I love the electronic dance-pop track, all the cool sounds and the way he plays all the instruments in the video. And he's got a great voice too!

"Don't Wait Up" is out digitally on iTunes and Spotify, and on CD from Amazon UK and Amazon US.

"Hold on for one more day"

Debbie Reynolds has passed away

2016 has been a tough year. Just one day after her daughter – "Star Wars" star Carrie Fisher – tragically passed away, Debbie Reynolds also passed away, eighty-four years old. According to several news sources, the movie legend was rushed to hospital while planning her daughter's funeral. She must have been heartbroken after losing her.

Debbie will always be remembered for her roles in movies such as "How The West Was Won", "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" and of course the 1954 musical "Singin' In The Rain" where she starred opposite Gene Kelly. Fan of classic movies should also check out a personal favourite of mine, the 2001 movie "These Old Broads", co-starring Joan Collins, Elizabeth Taylor and Shirley MacLaine.

Rest in peace, Debbie. You will be missed.

George Michael - White Light (1963-2016)

On December 25, British pop singer George Michael tragically passed away, just fifty-three years old. I must admit that I haven't listened much to his solo music, but one exception is the single "White Light" that I first heard when George performed it during the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony.

I really love the electronic sound of the track and how it blends with his sensual voice. The lyrics seem extra sad now. "White Light" is available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US. It really deserves to be a hit. Check out the video down below.

Rest in peace, George.

A Dead Or Alive Christmas

I'm so happy that the Dead Or Alive box set "Sophisticated Boom Box MMXVI", including seventeen CD's and two DVD's, arrived today, just in time for Christmas. This means that it will be a wonderful disco-pop Christmas this year. I can't wait to listen to all the albums and rare tracks like "Love Toy (Full Vocal Version)".



The box set itself is gorgeous. Pete would have been proud, rest his soul.

Yonee - Bombs Of My Love

I love discovering new dance-pop music and if the song has an important message, that's a big bonus! Today's music recommendation is "Bombs Of My Love" by the gorgeous singer, DJ and producer Yonee from Los Angeles. Also, check out his concept video about the story behind this lovely song. I look forward to following his career.

"Bombs Of My Love" is out now on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK, Amazon US and Soundcloud.

New CD's and Tab Hunter Confidential

New CD's in my record collection: Reissues of "Wanted" by Yazz, "Belinda" by Belinda Carlisle and "London Warsaw New York" by Basia. "The Night The Sun Came Up" by Dev, "I'm In Heaven" by Neopop, "Aquarius" by Sinitta, "Where Is My Man '98" by Eartha Kitt, "All Kinds Of Amazing" by Supercub and "Happy New Year" by Hazell Dean.



This also arrived in the mail today: the documentary "Tab Hunter Confidential" on Blu-ray, signed by Tab himself. I love old Hollywood, especially from a gay actor's point of view. I've read his autobiography and can't wait to see the documentary.

Wilson Phillips - Wilson Phillips (Re-release)

Another classic pop gem is getting the deluxe treatment on December 9. American vocal group Wilson Phillips' eponymous album, originally released in 1990, has been remastered and expanded. It includes the singles "Hold On", "Release Me", "Impulsive", "You're In Love" and "The Dream Is Still Alive".

This album holds a special place in my heart. I usually prefer more electronic music, but this one is so good, mainly thanks to the catchy pop melodies and the girls' beautiful voices. Also, the song "Hold On" has helped me through some hard times and is one of my all-time favourites.

No Christmas on your own

Dear friends, it's that time of the year again and you shouldn't celebrate Christmas on your own, so down below is the video for my band Eurotix's synthpop Christmas single "Christmas On My Own". Hopefully, the video and the song, despite the sad lyrics, can warm you through the holidays. If not, you're always welcome to spend Christmas with me through social media.

The song is still available digitally on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon UK and Amazon US. If you prefer a lossless version, please send us proof of purchase through one of the mentioned stores and we'll e-mail you a WAV copy.

Have a wonderful Christmas!
