Lyrics:

Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 
Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 

Depuis que tu es là 
Je ne pense qu'à toi 
Tu prends tout mon temps 
Tu es tout ce que j'attends 
J'ai besoin de t'aimer 
De te comprendre et d'être aimé 
De te prendre dans mes bras 
Et là tu sais bien pourquoi 

Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 
Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 

Il faut marcher ensemble 
Pour mieux se comprendre 
Surtout bien oublier 
Ce qui vient du passé 
Encore une fois 
C'est peut-être la dernière fois 
C'est facile pour toi 
C'est facile pour moi 

Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 
Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 

L'amour ne vient pas souvent 
Frapper au bon moment 
Quand il vient te voir 
Faut savoir le recevoir 
Nous on a qu'une chance 
C'est que l'on est ensemble 
Sans se demander quoi faire 
Faut laisser le temps faire 

Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 
Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 

Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime 
Aimer d'amour 
C'est aimer comme moi je t'aime

Aimer D'amour

Boule Noire - Aimer D'amour

Punkin Machine's "I Need You Tonight”, originally released in 1981, is another typical example of an underground hit, played at many a flat party these days like an obvious, bona-fide early 80s discopop hit when it was actually quite obscure until James Murphy unearthed it on his FabricLive Mix in 2007. Produced by Jerry Cucuzzella, the track is a feel good bumping disco track, with punchy bass, spanky guitars and sassy vocals that make for an uplifting and energetic listen - a nice throwback to the heyday of Montreal disco.

I Need You Tonight

Soundway Records present ’24 Hours in A Disco 1978 - 82’, 7 cuts of relentless disco grooves from the sublimely gifted Kiki Gyan. Hailed as Africa’s answer to Stevie Wonder, Ghanaian multi-instrumentalist Kiki Gyan was a musical wunderkind who by 1975 had risen from the lowly status of high school dropout to being ranked eighth in a poll of the greatest keyboardists in the world (occupying the rarefied air of the top ten with heavyweights like Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, and Stevie Wonder) as well as becoming an in-demand session player in the top recording studios of London - all before his twenty-first birthday. 

Out on his own, he produced a series of highly ambitious disco records aimed at positioning him as an international star, but weighed down by the excesses of the era, Gyan saw his meteoric rise matched by an equally swift fall back into obscurity. 

Loved dearly by his contemporaries and sorely missed since his death in 2005 the story of the life of Kofi Kwarko ‘Kiki’ Gyan is one often told with warning by his friends to the new generation of aspiring Ghanaian popstars.

Soundway Records now collects the best of Gyan’s work as a frontman and solo artist, featuring an array of electrifying disco grooves that still sound contemporary (and in some cases futuristic) decades after their initial release.

Released on CD and 2xLP both formats are accompanied with detailed liner notes written by Uchenna Ikonne. LP version comes with a free MP3 download of the release.
