Tobias Bernstrup - Sing My Body Electric download free

SING MY BODY ELECTRIC is the newest Tobias Bernstrup album and it's his fourth one to date. Released on tape by the Russian label Other Voices, SING MY BODY ELECTRIC will be soon issued also on CD and white vinyl without two tracks: "Light Years Apart" and "A.S.F.R.". The first one has already been released, as well as "1984", "Enemies Of The Earth" and "Data Love" on the "1984" EP by Enfant Terrible in 2009. The album opens with a short introduction "Departure" and shows its value already with the second track "Dancing In The Shuttle", a vibrant electro pop song with a dancey flavor but with a bit of melancholy. "Can Play" follows the same path and it is able to please synthpop and italo disco lovers. The latter will be happy when they'll listen to the opening part of "Body Electric" as a synth arpeggio, synth stabs and a nice piano build the atmosphere of a sensual song. "Videodrome" is the first up tempo song of the album and it's there to be danced to along with the following "1984". "Light Years Apart" mix hard beats, synth arpeggios and synth melodies while Tobias sings: "We've reached the point of no return, your signal is weaker, your gravity's gone, I drift out of orbit, into the dark, away from you, tonight". "A.S.F.R." is another romantic mid tempo with dancey attitude which pairs with the following "Ugly Alone". "Roll The Camera" starts with a beat that is good to be danced by 80s b-boys but it grows into a great synthpop tune with cool melodies. "Data Love" is a classic italo influenced song with retro simmons pads taking care of the rhythm. "Enemies Of The Earth" is a mid tempo with light synth pads and bass line arpeggios where Tobias' deep vocals take the deserved attention. The album closes with "No Time To Die", a melancholic mid tempo where he duets with Miss Liz Wendelbo. This new album, in my opinion, is a huge step ahead for him because it still has a dance attitude but the songwriting is strong and catchy. Review by: Maurizio Pustiana (Chain DLK)
