"...this inspired remix of Frankfurt trance pioneers Jam & Spoon may be his most captivating production yet...a mesmerizing flurry of synth and drums to accompany original vocals from 90s songstress Plavka. Meandering jazz-fusion piano fills and Sally’s otherworldly backing harmonies help lift the track into the cosmic jam stratosphere. " Discobelle

Fading Away

"Sally Shapiro’s angelic “Holiday” retains the original’s synth bass and cowbell, but long instrumental passages and lighter vocals open space for fluting synths and a disco pulse." Pitchfork
"Sally Shapiro's version of "Holiday" takes it to a rarefied, airy place without losing sight of the tics that make the original so good" Resident Advisor
"Sally Shapiro doing a Scandi/Italo take on ‘Holiday’ – what’s not to love – it’s utterly charming and everything we would want from that concept." Teases & Dares
"It's the holiday you never want to go home from." Politiken (DK)

Out on Aug 16th 2021 on the compilation "Italians Do It Better".

"Perfectly tailored, 'Forget About You' seems to have a chrome finish, with its high-definition production wrapped around Sally's evocative vocals. " Clash Magazine
"Hooked from that first synth note, Sally Shapiro craft the most mesmerizing arrangements and the new single is no different. The perfect combination of dreamy vocal harmonies and jagged synth textures colliding to provide this immersive ensemble flourishing throughout its expressive journey. The focus of the alluring ambiance starts to gain more power with the addition of extra tones, elements, and layers, whilst the lyrics add this personal and intimate touch to the sonic structure." Circuit Sweet
"Forget About You is a dreamy electronic pop cut that is truly irresistible for its sweetness and playful, danceable rhythm." Indienauta
"A synthpop stunner that’s brimming with sorrow, but it’s a sadness that you can’t help but revel in – such is its aforementioned beauty" Scandipop
"Fantastic new single" Vehlinggo
"A synthpop beauty, which gives us another good reason to get excited about the release of their upcoming new album" Lagasta
"Dreamy new single" Stereogum
"Forget About You is a warm, wistful synth pop tune with a sturdy keyboard refrain" Resident Advisor
"Forget About You is a satisfyingly retro-camp synth pop ballad, featuring 80’s keyboards and twinkling organ synth refrains as Shapiro laments wistfully on some kind of romance, soaked in all sorts of neon lit nostalgia" The Playground
"If you like Nina, Annie or indeed anything from Sally Shapiro’s dreamy back catalogue this is going to delight you" Teases & Dares

Forget About You

"Swedish Italo-disco duo/legends Sally Shapiro unveil another gorgeous gem from their new album Sad Cities, coming next month on Italians Do It Better. The dreamily bittersweet "Down This Road" -- which features co-production + sultry electric guitar from Highway Superstar, along with a glorious sax solo from Jorja Chalmers -- is vintage Sally Shapiro, glimmering with a warm, achingly wistful melancholy and an undeniable romantic nostalgia that the duo seem able to conjure like no other." Gorilla vs Bear

"Agebjorn does a masterful job of re-creating the featherlight feel, and Shapiro proves up to the task of starring in the reboots." AllMusic

"Soft Italo meets Japanese city pop and a hint of Annie’s summery ‘Endless Vacation’ EP" Teases & Dares

Tommy '86 feat. Sally Shapiro - Why Did I Say Goodbye

"Sally Shapiro's cover of this Pet Shop Boys classic keeps the original close to the heart. Emphasizing the baroque leanings of the chord progression, they take it further with a 8th note melody careening over icy pads. The result is a Synthwave skyline scraping the upper atmosphere in the never-ending race to survive the first of the month. It's a twisted tale of the politics of economy in relationships where the currency is love. Sally's crystalline coo glides over Johan's elegant Italo production as the bass line anchors the galloping rhythm section. Home is where the heart is...but shelter comes first in this game of love."
Johnny Jewel

Taken from the album "Disco Romance".

"Agebjörn's pinpoint synth stabs, 8-bit drums, and chilly, melodic breakdowns wheedle goosebumps, but ultimately it's Shapiro's barely-there choirgirl vocal that sells this as a mislaid pearl from the 45 bin in the attic." Pitchfork (4.5/5)

"in every respect it is an utterly perfect slice of italo synth-pop"

Taken from our first album "Disco Romance" (Diskokaine / Klein / Paper Bag). Written and produced by Johan Agebjörn. This track was suggested by Johan as the follow-up to the first single "I'll Be By Your Side", though in the end "Anorak Christmas" was selected.

"Com Truise lays down some clattering Linn drum work to offset the serenity of the original."
DJ Magazine (8.5/10)

"Remixing her track 'What Can I Do,' the pixie vixen’s airy vocals fly through sultry production. Electronic blips and warm waves of synths swirl around together making developing a wonderful moody track."
Prefix Magazine

What Can I Do (Com Truise Remix)

http://www.facebook.com/shapirosally

Single from the Sally Shapiro album "Somewhere Else" out now on Paper Bag Records.

The single includes Miami Nights 1984 remix and instrumental version, available from:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/starman-feat.-electric-youth/id591371630
http://shop.paperbagrecords.com/products/starman-single

Co-written and co-performed with Electric Youth.

Written by Mario Pak/Johan Agebjörn/Austin Garrick
Produced by Johan Agebjörn, co-produced by Mario Pak
Additional vocals by Bronwyn Griffin of Electric Youth

"Swedish synth-pop princess Sally Shapiro has shared another gorgeous track with us. The second single from her upcoming album Somewhere Else is called "Starman" which features Canadian pop duo Electric Youth.  Together they’ve created a wonderful bubbling indie pop track featuring Sally Shapiro’s trademark disco likings and whimsical vocals."
Prefix Magazine

"Mixing ultra-girly harmonies reminicent of a Molly Ringwald movie with a dose of trippy new-age synth, Shapiro’s music is our go-to when needing to blow off steam and dance around our bedroom. Download our premiere of the radio edit for her latest single “Starman” feat. Electric Youth above and just try to stay seated…"
NYLON

"The song is an electronic triggered jaunt down the disco. Purposefully detached vocals somehow enforce an overwhelming warmth into the song, and you’re left with the comforting feeling that you’ll never dance alone again. How does she do it? How?!"
Scandipop

"Starman is a particularly deep and dreamy slick of these guys ScandiPop. Sally is at her hushed-Saint-Etienne best, and being backed by the vintage tones of Electric Youth’s Bronwyn, cast a beautiful vocal net. A totally compelling voice in electronic music, Sally has found the perfect music partner in Johan, who knows exactly how to deliver sweeping, passionate synth music, with a subtle 60s twist, that suits her just right. Cannot wait for the album."
Electronic Rumours

"Evidently both duos’ styles were synth made for each other and this is quite the reason why the track can elevate itself to such a level of accomplished sophistication."
EQ Music Blog

"Starman may or may not be a Swedish nod to John Carpenter's movie of the same name, but in any case, it's lovely, fun, and possibly the best song on the album."

"On "Sundown", one of the finest tracks from her new record Somewhere Else, Shapiro and her collaborators showcase newfound artistic breadth by taking familiar sounds and textures, subjecting them to a subtle reconfiguration. Johan Agebjörn and Roger Gunnarsson take a handful of Italo disco trademarks-- glossy synths, airtight electronic percussion, garish, sparkly effects-- and apply them to a slow-paced ballad where Shapiro delivers a dreamy, fragile vocal performance. The final touch is a sublime sax solo reminiscent of Destroyer's magnificently louche Kaputt, and the result is bluish, bruised-heart pop that lingers long after it's finished." Pitchfork

"Sundown, which was produced by Johan Agebjörn is an energetic ballad that Shapiro adorably coos all over...racked with the sweetness you come to expect from Shapiro" Stereogum

"Great work as always. I love the track."

"...it's as amazing as the title already implies. Back in February, notoriously shy Swedish songstress Sally Shapiro and her producer Johan Agebjörn released their third studio album, Somewhere Else, a dazzling dose of wistful synth-pop and charmingly dainty, disco vibrations. Now, they've commissioned some of their favorite acts to re-rub the original record, resulting in Elsewhere, a remix collection out this week. U.K. disco diva Little Boots was asked to put her signature, spacey touch on one of the album's highlights, resulting in a funky 5-minute deep disco dive that ought to get that local DJ crushing even harder."
MTV Buzzworthy

"Victoria Hesketh has been on our radar for some time now (this blog’s local writer may have a little crush on her) for her previous originals and remixes. She makes her own discotheque version, a very well mannered remix somewhere between House and Nudisco. While that may be arguable, what’s not is the excellent rearrangement of the elements in the original to make this a club oriented tune, much like the physics maxim “Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed”."
Golden Scissors

"If this reswizzled version of one of 2013's most splendidly-titled songs proves anything at all it's that you cannot go wrong with a bit of Little Boots 'on the mix'."
Popjustice "Big Song"

"Taking on the brilliantly titled This City’s Local Italo Disco DJ Has A Crush On Me, Boots whips up some mirrorball sheen with a surprisingly gritty hook. Mixing up House and Nu-Disco elements to classy effect, Boots turns-in a slo-mo, soft focus, dancefloor dream."
