LIO
PREMIER ALBUM (1979)
REMASTER
256 KBPS

This album sounds just like a bubblegum or a lolipop would do if they were music. It's sweet, light as air, not very substential, it sure isn't everyday's musical meal, but it's joyous and entertaining enough to stand on its own.
While recorded and released in 1979 (30 years ago!), this is definitely 80s music with its typical synth sounds and silly lyrics. Would this had been English or American it would certainly had been a major hit. Well, it was in France but had hardly been heard of any place else.
Of course, you have the two hit singles, the sexually charged Banana Split and Amoureux Solitaires but most of the songs in here are quite good and will entertain those looking for something sugary. At that, Lio's debut album is a winner.
