Luisa Fernandez - Give Love A Second Chance

Review by Artisan Markets

Alright, let’s get into this. Give Love A Second Chance by Luisa Fernandez is one of those albums that punches you in the gut with its weird mix of funk, soul, and synth-pop vibes. Released way back in ’78, it’s got that disco sheen but also feels like someone threw a bunch of wires and keyboards into a blender. And honestly? It works more often than it doesn’t. First off, let’s talk about “Dance Baby Dance Around.” This track slaps harder than most things from the late ‘70s. The bassline grooves so hard it might as well be illegal, and the synths are all sparkly and sharp—like glitter on steroids. It’s impossible not to move your feet when this thing kicks in. I mean, come on, the title alone screams party starter. But what really sticks with me is how raw it sounds compared to today’s overproduced crap. You can tell David Parker (the producer) wasn’t trying to smooth out every edge; he left some grit in there, which makes it feel alive. That drumbeat hits like a freight train, man. Pure energy. Then there’s the title track, “Give Love A Second Chance.” If you’re expecting soft balladry, think again. This song comes at you sideways, blending lush strings with these icy electronic bleeps that shouldn’t work together—but holy hell, do they ever. Tanja and J.D. Parker nailed the writing here because the lyrics hit different. They’re cheesy as hell, sure, but in a way that makes you wanna sing along anyway. There’s something kinda desperate about the whole vibe—it’s pleading without being pathetic, if that makes sense. Plus, the chorus just lodges itself in your brain for days. Annoyingly catchy? Maybe. But damn effective. Now, don’t get me wrong—this album ain’t perfect. Some tracks drag or feel like filler (looking at you, “Granada”), but even then, it’s got personality oozing out of every pore. PF did a solid job mastering and cutting lacquers too, though I could nitpick about a few muffled highs here and there. Still, for an album bouncing between five countries and two labels, it holds together surprisingly well. Here’s the kicker: listening to this record feels like stepping into a time machine where everyone’s wearing polyester and sweating under disco balls—but somehow, it still resonates now. Like, yeah, we’ve got Spotify algorithms spitting out generic playlists, but nothing compares to hearing someone pour their freaky little heart into music like this. And hey, maybe that’s why I keep coming back to it. Or maybe it’s just nostalgia for a decade I wasn’t even alive for. Either way, Give Love A Second Chance reminds me that sometimes messy beats polished any day of the week. Now go blast “Dance Baby Dance Around” and try not to look ridiculous while doing it. Spoiler alert: you will.
