It sounds more like school concert singing, right before someone presses a stupidly fast keyboard ‘demo’ button. Then it’s Ain’t It Blue, which returns us to a slower song, but this time Sannie’s vocals don’t quite work here, possibly because of the need to hold her notes for so long. The track was eventually charted in the UK in 1998 with a load of remixes, however it got stuck at #68. It merrily bounces along though, as Sannie promises to ‘ take you to paradise‘. It really is a wonderful track.Ĭontrasting that, it’s followed by Sexy Eyes, which returns us to a similar beat and synth sequence as Saturday Night, but vocally similar to something that you might expect from Aqua or Vengaboys. The vocals soar, carried up by the piano, the gentle beat and sweeping strings. This is a lovely slow ballad, giving Sannie another chance to show off those vocals in this gushing love song. Piano leads us gently into next song Close To You. I found this song to be a bit of a foot tapper as it has quite a pace, and a pretty nice little pop/dance song. We’re soon joined by a nice fat euro-dance set of synths. It’s then on to Out Of Sight which opens with a heavily sampled giggle from Sannie as some house pianos drop in with some handclaps. The novelty ‘hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-hi-de-ho’ all help to make it catchy, even if it grammatically doesn’t fit correctly – ‘we’re gonna have big time’ and if musically it’s fairly simple. This song definitely takes a leaf out of the Vengaboys’ playbook. It’s a nice showcase of the group’s wider ability.īig Timefollows this, and this was the group’s fifth single, albeit as a double-A side single with a cover of Wham!’s Last Christmas (not included here). The song shuffles along as synths bubble and whoosh around her, reminding me a bit of PM Dawn’s Set Adrift On Memory Bliss (itself a drum sample from Soul Searchers 1974 hit Ashley’s Roachclip). Here, Sannie really gets to show off her vocal range and her ability to sing heartfelt slower lyrics. Then it’s on to Don’t Walk Away, and we’re taking a slight shift in tempo and style. Still, it gave them a #7 UK hit single when it was released as the album’s second track. The track isn’t quite as catchy though despite its similarities, and Sannie isn’t given quite as much to work with here lyrically. Next up is Another Day and this is a very Saturday Night-sounding track – the bouncy synths, house piano, and handclaps makes it very reminiscent to the hit, or maybe something that the Vengaboys might have made. She even throws in some familiar ‘dah dah be dum’ lyrics, reminiscent of her debut hit Saturday Night (featured here later) Rightly, this track was a hit, reaching #7 in the UK singles chart. The synths bleep as the song effortlessly step from verse to chorus and back. The simple euro-dance key sequence works perfectly as Danish singer Sannie Carlson drops her unmistakable vocals on top. This 10 track CD opens with the synth burst of third single Think Of You and it soon gets right down to business. Should this album hit the Big Time, or will it ruin your Saturday Night? Read on… Whigfield – Whigfield (1995) album Today’s POP RESCUE from an uncertain future, is the 1995 debut eponymous album Whigfield by Italian dance act Whigfield.
