Sally Shapiro

Whispery sopranos and gentle pulsations of wistful warmth is the best way I could describe the music of Sally Shapiro. The pseudonym of a swedish singer, Sally Shapiro takes her influences from what I can really only describe as a cross between Italian disco and eurobeat.

One item that makes Shapiro stand out from the crowd is the fact that she shuns publicity. She does not perform live, give live interviews nor has she ever given out her real name. Her first album, Disco Romance, from 2007 got good reviews and her latest release , My Guilty Pleasure, follows in the same footsteps, much to the joy of her fans.

I have provided a couple of her songs below that show off her delicate and sensual vocals, along with the vintage 80's feel that her producer/writer Johan Agebjorn brings and I am sure you will be able to hear the influence that Kraftwerk and Katy Grey have provided.

Enjoy.....
