Baccara - The Hits Of Baccara

Review by Bram Buurlage

The Hits Of Baccara: A Disco Fever Dream That Still Slaps in 2023 Alright, let’s get this straight—Baccara's The Hits Of Baccara isn’t just some relic from the disco era. Released in '79, this funk/soul/pop/electronic mashup is a wild ride through cheesy synths, stomping basslines, and vocals so smooth they could melt butter. It’s like someone took all the glittery excess of the 70s, cranked it up to eleven, and slapped it on wax. And guess what? It works. First off, can we talk about “Yes Sir, I Can Boogie”? This track is an absolute banger. If you don’t feel your feet moving within the first ten seconds, check your pulse—you might be dead. The beat hits hard, the chorus sticks to your brain like gum under a club chair, and those harmonies? Pure gold. You can practically smell the hairspray and see the bell-bottoms swaying on the dance floor. It’s one of those songs that makes you wanna grab a mic at karaoke night even if you sound like a dying cat. Screw perfection; it’s fun as hell. Then there’s “Light My Fire,” or should I say, their version of it. Yeah, yeah, everyone’s done a cover of The Doors’ classic, but Baccara flips it into something entirely their own. With Rolf Soja pulling double duty as arranger and producer, he turns this tune into a sultry disco anthem. The tempo slows down just enough to make you lean in, while the strings and keys add this dreamy vibe that feels both retro and kinda futuristic. Honestly, I’d pick this over the original any day of the week. Fight me. Now, here’s the kicker: this album dropped in multiple countries like India, Greece, Germany—you name it—and somehow it still resonates today. Whether it’s blaring out of a taxi radio in Hong Kong or spinning on vinyl in Sweden, these tracks have legs. Credit goes to the team behind it, too. Photography by Hansi Lehmann? Check. Labels like RCA Victor backing it? Double check. But really, it’s the sheer audacity of Baccara’s sound that keeps people coming back for more. So yeah, sure, The Hits Of Baccara ain’t perfect. Some tracks drag, others are forgettable (looking at you, “Sorry, I’m A Lady”), but when it works, it REALLY WORKS. Listening to it now feels like stepping into a time machine with busted brakes—you never know where you'll end up, but damn, the journey’s worth it. And hey, maybe that’s the point. In a world full of overly polished playlists and algorithm-driven recommendations, albums like this remind us music doesn’t always need to be serious. Sometimes it just needs to slap. Oh, and P.S.—if anyone tells you disco’s dead, shove this album in their face. They’ll thank you later. Probably.
