We had the opportunity to have a 'virtual sit down' with SALLY SHAPIRO, who was kind enough to answer some questions for us! We love the single Miracle and look forward to the new album which will include collaborations with German nu-disco producer TENSNAKE and Swedish italo disco duo CLOETTA PARIS Who are your musical influences?Mostly Italian and French romantic 80s disco like Valerie Dore,...
"Miracle" - Sally Shapiro Sweden's reclusive neo-italo-disco chanteuse (and/or duo) returns with another glistening wash of beat-driven melodrama, complete with whispery spoken French and electronic thunderstorms. Once again, it's the airy vocals--half golden warm, half icy cold; summer and winter combined--and blasé melodicism that give this song its particular charisma. For all its scrupu...

Swedish music person Sally Shapiro (it's a pseudonym...don't tell Canada) done got her song "Miracle" remixed by Bulgarian music person Bogdan Irkük. It makes my balls sweat!Sally Shapiro - "Miracle" (Bogdan Irkük 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 [...]
Well just when I think I'm done running my mind through the Italo Disco dredge I find something new. It doesn't seem to me that many Moggers aside from Ms. Rosalita and a few others have really cared about this revival, but I think the fact that this comes from Sweden could attract some of you into this genre. The album came out in '06. From what I've read it was entirely made by Johan Agebj...
First Black Devil Disco Club _28 After_ and now this Sally Shapiro thing. The disco renaissance is fully upon us and if you want any part of it, you must pick up both of these records. Both are shrouded in mystery and spin, maybe spinstery. And eMusic broke them both to me (eMusic, your feature programmers are fantastic).Black Devil Disco Club (eMusic feature) (iTunes Link)Very dark and spooky-...
Here in L.A. we have movie stars, awesome food, great music, and nice beaches. Something we don't have a lot of is cold weather. However, the past few days have been freeeeezing (by our standards) and it has rained quite a few times. Here are a nice selection of tracks that have helped me forget about the fact that my hand is getting frostbite as we speak... Sally Shapiro - Anorak (Anoraaks C...
Pic by Joe Fuda Swedish italodisco queen Sally Shapiro gets a helping hand from French 80's electro loving producer Anoraak (associated with the Valerie collective) for this remix of her track "Anorak Christmas". This is tender, heartbreaking and wintery electropop that will make you slow dance the night away. Sally Shapiro - Anorak Christmas (Anoraak remix) (YSI) Sally [...]
