Juan Pablo Mazzola offers us a new album but you’ll only hear covers this time. He had the great idea to cover C.C. Deville’s powerpop solo project SAMANTHA 7 with opening song “I Wanna Be Famous” that really fits BABY SCREAM just like a glove. After that, you’ll hear a modern “AIR-ed” version of 10CC’s “I’m Not In Love” and a soft pop version of The PSYCHEDELIC FURS‘ “Love My Way.” CULTURE CLUB‘s “Karma Chameleon” has been revamped as a 60s pop song and SEPULTURA‘s “Roots Bloody Roots” has turned into electronica/dreampop! In comparison, “Secret Agent Man” (JOHNNY RIVERS), “Tell It Like It Is” (AARON NEVILLE) and “Warm Fuzzy Feeling” (FASTBALL) all sound quite close to the original versions. “Stay Forever, My Love” (ORVILLE STOEBER) sounds a bit psychedelic and CINDY LAUPER‘s “Time After Time” sounds amazing as an acoustic song. Well, this album shows us again that a good song is a good song, even if you play it in a complete different style. /Laurent C.
