Hi all,

Glad news: The announcement of "Disco Romance" with the free downloads
has received a lot of attention from blogs and online magazines...and
"Anorak Christmas" has been played a few times on Swedish P3 and
webradios. Also, Diskokaine has reported that the CDs have been pressed
without faults and are now at the distributor! So Clone is now actively
preparing a release in December, as planned. We're excited of course!

Some quotes:

"“Anorak Christmas”, a cover of the song by Swedish artist Nixon, is an
icy, irresistible lovely little pop track that will have you wanting to
snuggle up with your loved one at the fireplace. Watch it. People are
going to be making out to this song. “I Know” is dripping in retro, but
like her other tracks it’s really Sally Shapiro’s sweet and almost
innocent vocals that make the song. If you thought “By Your Side” was
as good as it gets… well you were wrong. Both new tracks surpass “By
Your Side.”"

"Up & coming Swedish popstress Sally Shapiro drops her debut album
Disco Romance this December. She’s already gifted us with summer anthem
“I’ll Be By Your Side,” and two new tracks, single “Anorak Christmas”
and “I Know,” both of which are excellent. Think of her (if you must
and can’t simply listen to this ish) as more Agnetha than Anni-Frida,
more Annie than Robyn. Then imagine a classic Italo-Disco backing and
you’re all set - sweet, emotional longing and dancing your underpants
off."

"Just before the holidays Sally Shapiro is back to win us over once
again. Her long-awaited debut full-length, Disco Romance, will be out
next month and won't disappoint anyone who loves this italo disco sound
she's been creating with her friend Johan Agebjorn."

"Samtidigt som kylan och snön kommer Sally Shapiros cover på Nixons
(dvs Roger Gunnarson i Cloetta Paris) jullåt ’Anorak Christmas’, en
ledsen italo-pärla pyntad med lite glitter från ’Last Christmas’."
