Ana Popovic * Dance To The Rhythm (Gate) [New LP]

"We were jubilant, we were full of dance. No boundaries for our creativity." That's how we felt making the record. Groove and Dance. With POWER, we were trying to survive. With DANCE - we were celebrating life and the new chance. Dance - that's one of the styles of music I haven't touched previously, and that was always present in my life. I guess I always wanted to make that connection - between the guitar and the dance song. There's only a few dance tracks on the record ("Dance To The Rhythm" "Sho Nuff") but I wanted to go into those and tastefully fit guitar, as usually there's none in similar songs.I don't think it was done before, and certainly not much. There's a fantastic blues track 'Dwell On The Feeling' as well as a pop track 'Hurt So Good'. Timeless lyrics and haunting tribal groove on 'Sisters and Brothers' and smooth and vibe-y on 'California Chase' with a powerful message that the skid row in LA is sometimes one miss-step away, and that no one should be homeless.
