You can hear the love of disco in every track of this album. But a new generation of disco, alt-disco, indie-disco, with hiphop and playground chants (“We Just Won’t Be Defeated,” the exuberant clap-along “Huddle Formation”) and samples; “dancing like nobody’s watching” in music form. Exuberant, happy, defiant, for the kids. If it’s too weird, you’re too old. This isn’t in my traditional wheelhouse and I love it. It makes me happy. This is the re-released version with the samples all made legal and stuff. Favorite tracks: "Ladyflash," "Huddle Formation."
