12"

genre: ITALO DISCO - CLASSIC DANCE - 80's

label: Bordello A Parigi   Cat.No: BAP239

Two vocal tracks and two instrumentals. The classic EP structure reflects the class of Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozzetti. Italoconnection return to Bordello weaving their magic with synthesizers. And it is these analog lines that immediately captivate the listener in "Like A Star". Crisp percussion and soaring melodies open into a glorious chorus before Ventura's unmistakable voice takes over. Paying homage to Moroder's "From Here To Eternity", Italoconnection offer a vocoder-infused love story, with burning voices rising higher and higher. The instrumental part reduces the lyrics, but allows the whispered keys to remain and maintain that human touch between engaging chords and rich textures. Bold mechanical brass introduces "Make It Real". These bursts form the melodic backbone of this self-esteem ballad, where Ventura's passionate words blend impeccably with Gozzetti's brilliant synthesizer work. The synth work emerges in the finale. With reduced lyrics, the machines sing a different song, as that energy-charged melody gains even more intensity. Absolute quality, as always with Italoconnection.
