Big horns, legato guitars, reminds me of pre Purple Rain era Prince ala Little Red Corvette. “1+2” is some serious Prince inspired funk. Next up is the title track “Disco Baby”, which starts off with poetic call to arms for disco babies everywhere, calling out ravers, dancers and discorats to come together and ‘lose yourself right now’. “Black And Tan” has an MGMT sort of intro, and gets bonus points for being one of my favorite beverages of the alcoholic persuasion. Disco balls be damned and Charlie’s Angels kickin’ in the door. The lyrics reflect the music industry’s lack of vision in the digital age and it sounds like a bad date with a record A&R guy. Richie and the gang have done their homework, hitting on just about every aspect of dance music and they state their business on the track “Droptop”, defining their style in their own words as ‘discomatic electro newage droptop, the hottest shit to make your party pop off’. “Trust” is next, with it’s Autotune floaty vocals and Prince-like hard funk sound, this could be a hit given for disco funk lovers everywhere. Catchy hooks in constant motion, some great horns and a spit by Illspokinn. “Reverse Psychology” reminds me of Phil Collins pop heyday in the 80’s. It’s fun pop fluff in vein of Maroon 5’s Payphone or something to that effect. “Lonely Dancer” sings about well, a lonely dancer. Borrowing from 70’s disco, 80’s pop and new school electrohouse, the band manages to create something unique in a saturated and trendy music market, a feat on it’s own merit. The album kicks off with “Take My Party Serious”, a modern electro-disco stomp guaranteed to get any party started off right. Their debut “For The Ladies” established the group as one to watch, and Disco Baby firmly cements them as one of the most original and fun acts to ever come out of post grunge Seattle. Disco Baby is the followup release from disco pranksters Richie Aldente.
