Various Artists – The Ladies Of Too Slow To Disco Vol. 2

Description

It would be fair to say that 2016’s female-centred instalment of the “Too Slow To Disco” franchise was one of the series’ strongest compilations to date, so this belated sequel is more than welcome.

Naturally the mix of blue-eyed soul, yacht rock and AOR disco is attractive and on-point, with highlights including the Steely Dan-ish “Pretty Bird” by Terea, the string-laden disco swoon of Sheffield cabaret star Marti Caine’s “Love The Way You Love”, Franne Golde’s country-twinged, early Dire Straits style “Here I Go Fallin’ In Love Again”, the super-smooth vibes of Janis Siegel’s “Lovin’ Eyes” and the low-slung, bluesy, country-fried AOR disco brilliance of Nicolette Larson’s “Baby Don’t You Do It”.
