DJ ENCORE: new album set for May!

Hey everybody,

I should probably start by saying I'm a big DJ Encore fan. Back in 2002, "I See Right Through You" was one of my favorite songs... and even better, the album "Intuition" (DJ Encore feat. Engelina) was very rare for a dance album: it was consistently good, with not a single filler track. I thought this was a pairing that was definitely gonna be around for a while!

But then, it seemed like they kind of faded away from America. We didn't really hear anything from them. Then the DIVA DIVO peeps named "I See Right Through You" one of the best dance songs of the 2000s (did you read that article yet?), and I thought "ah, yes! I almost forgot how frickin' GOOD that was!"

Well, turns out the timing was fateful... DJ Encore is set to make a comeback: YES!

I just heard the latest single: "You Can Walk on Water," and I'm pleased to say it's more of the same excellent Euro sound we got the first time around. Very fun, upbeat, high-energy stuff with a great singalong chorus. Very exciting. There is one minor bummer: Engelina is no longer in the picture. Well, not totally true: she's still making music, and it looks like a solo album is in the works right now. But for the new DJ Encore album, he's paired himself with a new female vocalist: Johanna.


Well, can't say she's not a looker!

Actually she does a good job on the new single, so I'll definitely give the girl a chance. Though I have to say, Engelina complemented DJ Encore's production on the first album so well, it's hard to imagine that someone else might be able to replicate that "chemistry" (which, by the way, was the name of one of the tracks ;) ). Oh well, everyone deserves a fair chance! Good luck, Johanna, you have mighty boots to fill!

Okay, but on to the important stuff. The new album is called UNIQUE, and it's due to come out in May, 2007. So there's not much time left to wait. Excellent news; I can't wait to hear the rest of it!

Okay, DJ Encore fans... I hope this gets your weekend off on a good note. No pun intended, of course.

Talk to you later,
JOHNNY
