Alex Party - Don't Give Me Your Life

[AGinAg (37)]

Hard to believe we don't have a topic dedicated to slice of essential 90s handbag house.







I only post this really as I noticed there's now a whole album on Spotify




It's not very good. There's the obvious singles, and a couple of other bangers. Sadly polluted with midtempo and ballads.

Never heard that album before. It does reek of “omg we’ve got a huge hit, let’s get in the studio for a few hours and shit out an album”

that said I like the sound of “On My Mind” and “Once Upon A Time”, I might go back to this.

Anyways this track has all the nostalgic feels but it wasn’t one of my fave faves. I kind of went off dance in the mid 90s a bit and went back to it in about 1999. It all went very commercial. Some of it was good but there was a focus on eurodance which is not my bag.

A house classic, Read My Lips is a 10 too, but it's essentially the same song.

This Love Inc leaning gem came later and appeared on a few Italian compilations. It sounds like it would have been a very well liked 4th single that maybe could have scraped another top 40 placing. I love it. She also did a Shania You're Still The One cover. That one may have been around the time of the Never Mind the Buzzcocks appearance (the guess who the has been is segment).



Shannie finally accepted my Instagram request. No idea why she's private given she only posts PA poster details.

Don't Give Me Your Life though? I do love that Visnadi brothers sound, but there's just something a bit low rent about it for me. It'll probably be on the 10 next time I'm caught unawares by it.

Return to Widnes? Who says they can't think of a better title for the new MENLY C OPUS

That's the uploader. I'm assuming it's the place featured in the clip.

Another 90s classic
