New Baccara - Call Me Up Special Version

Review by Jenifer Walsh

Call Me Up Special Version by New Baccara: A Synth-Pop Disco Extravaganza That’ll Make You Go “Huh, Cool!” Alright, let’s get one thing straight—this isn’t your grandma’s disco album (unless she was super into Euro synth-pop in 2011). Call Me Up Special Version by New Baccara is a delightful mishmash of glittery beats, retro vibes, and remix madness. Released under dwsrecords, this European gem blends genres like Pop and Electronic while throwing some serious shade at boring playlists everywhere. First off, mega props to the producers who didn’t phone it in. Luis Rodriguez helmed most tracks with his usual flair, but when Duncan Finlayson stepped up for track six (Touch Me), things got… saucier? Yeah, let’s go with that. And can we talk about A&A Mixmasters on track seven? They’re out here crafting megamixes so big they might as well come with their own theme parks. Now, onto the bangers—or should I say, the ones that stuck in my brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. Let’s start with “Fantasy Boy (Hot Cut Mix)” because holy wow, what even IS this?! It’s like someone took all the best parts of an ‘80s aerobics class soundtrack, added a futuristic twist, and said, “Yeah, here ya go.” The bassline slaps hard enough to make you forget you’re sitting in sweatpants eating cereal at 11 PM. Plus, there’s something oddly hypnotic about how the vocals repeat “fantasy boy” over and over—it’s catchy without being annoying, which honestly feels like sorcery. Then there’s “Touch Me (Erotic Dance Mix)”, which sounds exactly like its title implies. If seduction had a playlist, this would be track numero uno. This version leans heavy on sultry beats and breathy whispers, making it perfect for either late-night vibes or awkwardly trying to impress someone at a house party. Either way, it’s memorable—and maybe slightly NSFW if your boss walks in while it’s playing. The rest of the album keeps the energy high, tossing around instrumentals, DJ mixes, and enough disco sparkle to blind a mirror ball. Tracks like Talisman bring back that classic dancefloor magic, while cuts like A & A Special Megamix are basically permission slips to lose yourself in pure audio chaos. But here’s the kicker—the whole thing feels refreshingly unpretentious. There’s no attempt to reinvent the wheel; instead, New Baccara grabs that wheel, adds neon lights, and says, “Drive this baby wherever you want!” Final thought: Listening to Call Me Up Special Version feels like finding a forgotten mixtape from another dimension. Sure, some bits feel dated, but isn’t that part of the charm? Like those questionable fashion trends we secretly love, sometimes nostalgia hits hardest when it doesn’t take itself too seriously. So grab your leg warmers, crank up the volume, and thank me later. Or don’t—I’m just glad I survived writing this review without breaking into spontaneous dance moves.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The album *Call Me Up Special Version* by New Baccara is like a time capsule of electronic pop goodness. Released in 2011, it blends synth-pop and disco with tracks that have wild remixes—like "Fantasy Boy" getting the “Duncapella” treatment and "Touch Me" transformed into an “Erotic Dance Mix.” Fun fact? Luis Rodriguez produced most of the tracks, but Duncan Finlayson jumped in for one, adding his own flair. It’s got that Euro vibe, too, since it came out on dwsrecords. If you’re into retro sounds with modern twists, this album’s a hidden gem!
