From the 'comebacks you weren't expecting' file: Savage

  • October 2, 2009
  • Popjustice

Savage's Italo disco classic 'Don't Cry Tonight' is one of the 180 best songs of the 1980s.

Below is a clip of Savage per­form­ing the song on an old Italian show called 'Disco Inverno' (WARNING: THIS LOOKS LIKE THE GREATEST TV PROGRAMME OF ALL TIME) — notable not just for the unusual sound of a real audience going really mental but also for the fact that there's well over a minute of song before the vocal comes in. It's a minute of brilliant atmo­sphere and amazingness.

He did some other stuff as well. As his offical site's bio puts it, "Savage is the original 80's ital­odisco pop star, worldwide famous singer and platinium record producer of Europop and house artists such as Corona, Alexia, Double You and Ice Mc. Composer and writer of various mul­ti­mil­lion worldwide hits". 

Anwyay he's been touring again recently and 'due to popular demand' etc has recorded A NEW SONG with A NEW ALBUM ready for next year. The song — get this one out quick — is called 'Twothousandnine', it's a bit like 'USSR' but let's not let that get in the way, and this is it.

That's right — it sounds exactly how you'd want it to sound. Good stuff.
