Without mercy. \u003cb\u003eCarlos Valderrama\u003c\/b\u003e and company’s third album doesn’t let you rest for even a second. Blood, sweat, and tears on the dance floor. Syncopated rhythms, instrumental exuberance, unforgettable melodies. It’s a fine line between those minutes of wakefulness and drifting off into a light sleep, in that undefined space where dreams begin. And all of this is floating around the epicenter of a triangle formed by, on one side, great composers, both Italian and classic, who nourished FITNESS FOREVER’s first album in 2009, “Personal Train” (\u003cb\u003eEnnio Morricone\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cb\u003e Nico Fidenco\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cb\u003e Gino Paoli\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ePiero Umiliani \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eBurt Bacharach\u003c\/b\u003e). The second side of the triangle is the soft-pop inspiration of the second album, “Cosmos” from 2013 (\u003cb\u003ePaul Williams\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eMarcos Valle\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eSerge Gainsbourg\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eLucio Battisti\u003c\/b\u003e), and the third side is the dark, classical names from the Italian-disco tradition scratched from the shelves of the most intrepid music lovers (NUMBER ONE ENSEMBLE, KANO, LE STREGHE, EVA EVA EVA, \u003cb\u003eAlberto Radius\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cb\u003e Adriano Pappalardo\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cb\u003e Enzo Carella\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cb\u003e Franco Califano\u003c\/b\u003e,\u003cb\u003e Filipponio\u003c\/b\u003e). And the triangle is wrapped in a dose of the current and contemporary, and the ambiance you can find in bands like JUSTICE, THE GO! TEAM, METRONOMY and DAFT PUNK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe already gave you the advance single of the title track, “Tonight”, with the participation of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVincent Mougel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, KIDSAREDEAD front man and collaborator on a ton of French projects like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuliette Armanet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMathieu Boogaerts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, HERMAN DÜNE, CASCADEUR, HALO MAUD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eand \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRicky Hollywood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, among many others.

Surprising, a different tone of voice than we were used to from PAPA TOPO’s earliest recordings, singing in Italian this time, to become the album’s muse, ethereal, delicate, full of fantasy. We also gave you the single for “Canadian Ranger”, a solid, eternal, universal song that \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSara Cracknell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephin Merrit \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewould definitely play on repeat. Prodigious. Unforgettable. Is it a tribute to ABBA and THE WHO? Let your imagination run wild. “Andre” is an immediate Italian-disco classic. That dirty infectious line, the synthesizer arrangements that respond to the name of the song’s star, that dark, sensual ambiance. It’s the perfect song for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Moulton \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto open the night with. “Port Ghalib” is an instrumental track that makes it very clear how strong the instrumentation is on this album: strings, wind instruments (that sax) pushing against each other and giving way to the singer’s voice with a trotting, untiring spirit of the drums and bass, and the synthesizer arrangements. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTina Charles \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eor THE O'JAYS would kill to sing this song.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn “Baby Love”, the synthesizers (and that vocoder!!) become the stars, with a bass line that reminds us of “Billie Jean”, but accentuating the Italian accent, and the majestic strings that give that intimate, organic touch, giving the songs a feeling of warmth. “Cosa Mi Hai Detto” is one of the few songs where we hear \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarlos Valderrama \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003esinging again, on a sensual song, probably the only one that, conceptually within the album, is a separate thing. Disturbing, nocturnal, with that final sax that traces the outlines of buildings as dawn approaches. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Jean\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, lead singer and guitarist for JUNIORE (one of the coolest and most prominent groups on Paris’s new scene) lends her sweet voice to the group on “Arbre Magique” (with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuliette David\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoackim Polack\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of PEARL \u0026amp; THE OYSTERS on backing vocals). This is probably the song that is closest to the pop concept of the first album, again with the strings marking the differences. Delicious. Finally, we have “Carlo”, a farewell in every sense, the melancholy after an intense night of dancing and of abandon, with that precious ending swollen by all the instruments that have decorated the path toward this end, with a lounge-pop spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecorded with the perfect mix of synthesizers and organic elements, creating a spiral of exciting sounds, “Tonight” has a full string and wind orchestra, conducted by master \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGianfranco Campagnoli\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, first trumpet for \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMario Biondi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e’s live performances, a secret weapon who gives that organic, intimate air to his songs.
