I love this album. There’s a real joy about it and a nice melodic 80’s thrust to the opener ‘One More Time’ with lyrics spiked with song references – it’s a great way to […]
‘When Life Treats You Funky’ the opening track on what is 8th Electric Boys album is all fans will need to hear to know that things are sounding very good indeed. There’s an immediacy […]
