Title: Future Disco
Review: My worst fear was that, without his Erasure partner Vince Clark, Andy Bell's album would be nothing more than Andy's beautiful tenor singing mediocre songs to generic dance beats. Thankfully, that is not the case. "Electric Blue" is, in fact, a dance album, but it's not only well-sung, but also filled with solid songwriting and excellent production. "Electric Blue", along with Madonna's "Confessions on a Dancefloor", might very well be the start of a "future disco" movement. Both CD's combine heartfelt, catchy pop songs with electronic music that is both futuristic and retro. My only criticism of Andy's album is that the two ballads seem tepid compared to the rest of the songs. Perhaps Andy might have been better off following Madonna's lead and sticking with the electrifying beats.Highlights: "Crazy", "Love Oneself", "Electric Blue"
