Sandy - Alone

Review by Andrew Borg

Alone by Sandy: A Euro House Banger That Still Slaps in 2023 Alright, let’s get into this. Alone by Sandy dropped back in 2001 under Patriott Records, and holy crap, it's one of those albums that just screams early 2000s Euro House vibes. Like, you can practically smell the neon lights and hear the thumping basslines of some underground Dutch club when you hit play. If you’re into electronic beats with a relentless groove, this is your jam. First off, shoutout to the crew behind the scenes—J. Soulier, MAS de Vries, and M. Theunissen—for crafting something so raw yet polished. It’s not perfect, but damn if it doesn’t slap harder than most stuff from that era. Now, onto the tracks because honestly, there are only two here, but they pack a punch. Track Breakdown "Alone (Radio Edit)" This version hits different. Like, immediately. The opening synth riff grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go. By the time Sandy’s vocals kick in, you’re already hooked. Her voice has this haunting quality—like she’s singing directly to your soul while you’re stuck on the dance floor at 3 AM. And don’t even get me started on the drop. It’s simple, sure, but man, it works. You won’t forget this track anytime soon because it’s tailor-made for those moments when you need an anthem to scream-sing alone in your car. Yeah, we all do it. "Alone (Extended Mix)" Now THIS is where things get wild. They stretch out the beat like warm taffy, giving you more room to lose yourself in the rhythm. The breakdown around the halfway point? Chef’s kiss. It builds tension like crazy before slamming you back into the chaos. This mix isn’t messing around—it’s meant for the clubs, baby. If I close my eyes, I can almost picture sweaty bodies moving in sync, lost in the vibe. It’s hypnotic as hell and makes you wanna move whether you know how to dance or not. Why It Sticks What makes Alone stick in my head? Simple—it’s unapologetically itself. No frills, no overproduced nonsense. Just straight-up Euro House energy that refuses to quit. These tracks remind me of what music used to feel like before algorithms took over—raw, emotional, and made for living life loudly. Final Thoughts Honestly, listening to Alone feels like stepping into a time machine. But weirdly enough, it still holds up today. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking, or maybe Sandy and her team were ahead of their game. Either way, this album deserves props for being bold and unforgettable. Oh, and here’s the kicker—if aliens ever invade Earth, I’m blasting “Alone (Extended Mix)” during their arrival. Let’s see if they can handle THAT vibe.

About Sandy

Sandy Boets (born 18/12/1978) was only 6 when she made her first steps into her music career by participating in playback contests. In 1993 she imitated Whitney Houston in the Soundmixshow. At the age of 9 she got to know Sergio Quisquater (Belgium's representative at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2002). Sandy and Sergio started to sing together as Taste of Joy, but then a Canadian band with the same name turned out to exist. When they scored their first hit in Europe, Sandy and Sergio were asked to change their name: Taste Of Joy became Touch Of Joy. In no time, the Flemish duo became a true hit machine: "Don't Give It Up

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a fun fact: The album *Alone* by Sandy, released in 2001, is a hidden gem in the Euro House scene. It came out under Patriott Records in the Netherlands and features just two tracks — but don’t let that fool you. The extended mix of “Alone” became a favorite on dance floors back in the day. Interestingly, the track was co-written by J. Soulier, MAS de Vries, and M. Theunissen, who managed to pack a lot of energy into such a short release. Sometimes less really is more!
