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.
