The third album by the Swedish quartet features energetic, harmonious vocals backed by palatable techno beats and a unique pop-Reggae sound. Sisters Jenny and Linn Berggren share lead vocal duty, with their brother Jonas "Joker" Berggren and Ulf "Buddha" Ekberg contributing songwriting, producing, arranging, and varied musical talents. High points include "Always Have, Always Will," which puts a novel spin on the '60s Motown girl group sound; the ballad "Everytime it Rains," with its delicate Spanish guitar trills, and the contagious rhythms of the danceable "Travel to Romantis." The title track, a reworking of Bananarama's 1980's pop hit, perfectly captures the album's vitality and spunk.
Industry Reviews
It's clear what Ace Of Base Svengali Jonas Berggren is aiming for--the iridescent sonic symmetry of Swedish forebears ABBA....[Ace Of Base] actually attain[s] ABBA's perfect pop-Euro-disco balance on this third outing. There isn't a note out of concordant place, no potential hook overlooked... - Rating: B+
