Album Review: Танцуй by Анжела Лондон – A Europop Gem That’ll Make You Move
Alright, let’s talk about Танцуй by Анжела Лондон. This 2013 release from Russia is a straight-up Europop banger with some electronic vibes sprinkled in for good measure. Released under Loud Music, it’s one of those albums that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel but still manages to slap hard when you hit play.
First off, the title track “Танцуй” (which means "Dance," duh) is an absolute vibe. It's got this infectious beat that worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. I mean, seriously, once you hear it, you'll find yourself humming it while brushing your teeth or waiting in line at the grocery store. The production is clean yet punchy—like someone took all the fun parts of early 2000s dance music and gave them a modern twist. And can we just appreciate how she layers her vocals? There’s something so hypnotic about it, like you're being pulled into a neon-lit club even if you’re just sitting on your couch in sweatpants.
Now, here’s where things get interesting—the Acapella version of “Танцуй.” Whoa. Stripping away the backing track really lets Анжела’s voice shine, and damn, does she deliver. Her tone has this playful edge to it, almost teasing you to keep listening. Without the distraction of synths and beats, you realize just how catchy the melody is. Honestly, hearing her belt out those lines without any tricks makes me respect her as an artist even more. Plus, props to whoever thought including both versions was a good idea—it gives listeners options depending on their mood. Want to vibe solo? Go instrumental. Need a vocal fix? Acapella’s got your back.
The album sticks pretty close to its Europop roots throughout, which might not appeal to everyone. But honestly, that consistency works in its favor. It feels cohesive, like every track belongs exactly where it is. Sure, some might call it formulaic, but sometimes sticking to what works pays off big time.
What stays with me most after listening isn’t just the songs themselves—it’s the energy. Like, you can tell Анжела had fun making this. There’s no pretentiousness here, no overthinking; it’s pure pop bliss designed to make people move. In a world full of overly serious music, that kind of unapologetic joy is refreshing.
Random thought: If this album were a person, it’d be the life of the party—the friend who drags everyone onto the dance floor even if they swear they don’t feel like dancing. And honestly? We need more friends like that.
So yeah, give Танцуй a spin. It won’t change your life, but it might remind you why dancing is such a great escape. Just don’t blame me if you start busting moves in public—you’ve been warned.
