Oh wow.  Is that only done via makeup and lighting?  That's pretty impressive.  

And tracklist (yes, Britney is doing a Suzanne Vega cover.) 

01 4 U With Love
02 Déjà Vu [ft. Sia]
03 Diamonds [ft. Charli XCX]
04 Don’t Let Go [ft. Mikky Ekko]
05 Right Here, Right Now [ft. Kylie Minogue]
06 Tempted [ft. Matthew Koma]

09 Wildstar [ft. Foxes]
10 Back and Forth [ft. Kelis]
11 I Do This For You [ft. Marlene]
12 La Disco

Not sure since it's not an official release yet.  Sia is always intelligible.

I think I've seen Carli on SNL?  And didn't think much of her...

I do know Matthew Kona because he does vocals for a lot of demos and seems to have a good voice for dance music.  Can't really say much else, though.  And Marlene is huge in France--I know two of her songs.

Re Sia--I dunno.  I don't play her much (though I loved Breathe Me back in the day,) so know her more for writing for Kylie, etc, but the songs I know with her vocals from the radio I couldn't tell you the lyrics of either (Elastic Heart, Titanium, Chandelier...)

It says not available when I try to play.  Cry   I love extended versions.

You are so smart :)

I wonder if Moroder did the mix?  Back in the day the singles were nearly always edits of longer versions--I always preferred the 12" of the Bad Girls single Walk Away which had extra vocals or of course the full version of Blondie's Call Me (which lyrically makes a BIT more sense lol )

From the credits, I think nearly all the tracks are co-productions.  Which, as you say, I think makes sense.

Hell, back in his key 1977-1980 years he kinda had a an exec role anyway--with Donna Summer alone, the brilliantly camp Once Upon a Time album was mostly done with Bob Esty (except for the completely electro 2nd side of the four sides,) and yet it is by far Esty's best work.  And then Bad Girls it's the same with Harold Faltermeyer--one thing that made Moroder at his peak, brilliant was who he chose to work with and how he would filter and edit out their lesser work.  I think some modern fans get mad when that's pointed out, but really that's no different from the way most of the best pop music has been always made. 

Jay - I always think you have great taste but I loathe Charli XCX - her name alone annoys me - how shallow am I? But I will give the links a listen on your say so.

Eric - Foxes and Kelis should be interesting.

HorseTears and Eric - I love a 12 inch (cheeky!!!) the extended mix of MacArthur Park that has the following lyrics

"There would be another song for me, For I will sing it There would be another dream for me, Someone will bring it I will drink the wine while it is warm And never let you catch me looking at the sun...And after all the loves of my life Oh, after all the loves of my life, I'll be thinking of you - and wondering why"

Really makes the song even more beautiful. And when I hear that bit I always need to listen to "Now I Need You"

Vera--the "There will be another song for me..." bit is from the Jimmy Webb original song.  I LOVE it and it shocks me that it wasn't on the radio edit.  When I got to see Donna twice in 2008 (and man am I glad I splurged and saw her twice,) she sang the long version of Mac Park both times which thrilled me, since I had read that on nights that she wasn't "feeling it" she would just do the short version.  But that bit makes the song for me.

A friend actually posted Years and Years - King on my FB wall last week!  I really like it--I'll have to look into the band.
