Finally, a U.S. release for this irresistible album from the Danish duo, released four years on from their American debut D-D-Don’t Stop The Beat. This sophomore album was originally unleashed nearly two years ago in their homeland, but the production and overall sound of the album has not dated at all. Junior Senior knows that you can’t spell ‘funky’ without the ‘fun’ and they offer huge amounts of fun to this mix. Like their debut, the duo mix dance, Hip Hop (more Old-School than New School), Pop and Funk into an upbeat musical buffet that offers new tastes and twists with each track. Yeah, it can get silly at times, but this album is so full of good vibrations that it’ll charm you into submission before you realize it. There’s Motown beats, Funk guitar, Disco strings, fabulous harmonies, Bubblegum hooks and so much more on display here. Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson from The B-52s pop up on the glorious ‘Take My Time”, a feel-good single for those looking for a light in the dark. This U.S. version even includes a bonus CD featuring seven brand new songs! Plus, any band that has a song called “Hip Hop A Lula” deserves your attention. (RYKODISC)
