Togo Togo Feat Jerome Leeds - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

Review by Mario Dubé

Album Review: The Lion Sleeps Tonight by Togo Togo Feat. Jerome Leeds Alright, let’s talk about this gem from 1994—The Lion Sleeps Tonight by Togo Togo featuring Jerome Leeds. Yeah, it’s a bit of a mouthful, but trust me, the album delivers some serious Europop and Euro House vibes with a dash of trance thrown in for good measure. Released under the Blow Up label outta Germany, this one’s got that early '90s electronic pop energy that just sticks to your brain like gum on a hot day. First off, you can’t ignore the title track, The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Radio Edit). It’s catchy as hell, blending those iconic "wimoweh" chants with thumping beats and synths so bright they practically glow. The track feels like someone took a classic tune, gave it a techno makeover, and sent it back out into the world to party. I mean, who doesn’t love hearing Jerome Leeds’ vocals layered over pulsing rhythms? You’re gonna find yourself humming this one while waiting in line at the grocery store—or maybe even busting out some awkward dance moves when no one’s watching. Another banger is Togo-Jungle-Night (The Lion’s Back - Special Jungle Operation). This one leans heavier into the jungle theme, with drum patterns that feel like you're stomping through an actual rainforest. There’s something wild and untamed about it, but also super fun. Like, imagine Tarzan vibing to Eurodance beats instead of swinging from vines. It’s chaotic in the best way possible, and honestly? It’s the kind of song that makes you wanna grab a flashlight and pretend you’re on some secret midnight mission. Weird flex, I know, but hey, that’s what music does sometimes. What really stands out here is how smooth the production is. Producer credits go to B. Cruise, H. Bruhn, Miss Hagman, and R. Pisch, and they clearly knew what they were doing. They kept things tight without losing the playful edge that makes these tracks memorable. Plus, shoutout to Stanton, Weiss, Peretti, and Creatore for writing both the music and lyrics—they managed to keep everything cohesive yet fresh across the different mixes. Now, here’s the thing: listening to this album feels like stepping into a time capsule. The early ‘90s were all about big sounds, bold experiments, and unapologetic fun—and The Lion Sleeps Tonight nails that vibe. But what strikes me most is how Jerome Leeds’ voice ties everything together. Without him, the whole project might’ve felt a little too mechanical. Instead, it’s got soul…well, as much soul as you can cram into Europop. So yeah, if you’re into retro beats or just wanna relive the glory days of Euro House, give this album a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up accidentally downloading five versions of the same song because they’re all kinda awesome. Oh, and random thought: wouldn’t it be hilarious if lions actually did sleep tonight? Like, what if we woke up tomorrow and found out lions were collectively boycotting nocturnal activities? Food for thought.
