Army of Lovers has done it again! This time they've taken their unique style of sung chorus/spoken verse dance music and covered one of the tunes from the musical Hair. It's great!!! If you've liked their stuff from the past, you're gonna love this! The cd even has a real player video of the song.

Well, it has been a long wait but finally...
The sleeve of the cd immediatly tell us that AOL didn't age and they're still not to be taken seriously.
Their cover version of 'Let the sunshine in' is nice though not very different from other covers except for a typically AOL break (Jean Pierre tell us that God must be believing in him - modest).The extended version is excellent (those funky sounds!) but the real remix sounds a bit cheesy after three times.
The video is fun fun fun (and silly too) in the purest Army of Lovers 'Grand Siecle' style and it's a real pleasure to see them being stupid.
This maxi is a must-have for AOL fans and for those who haven't heard of them before, it's time to be introduced to Army of Lovers (it couldn't be more apt).

Well, before I start I have to say this: It's not what you'd expect it to be, not a regular cover-version at all. Army of lovers sure know how to take a song that was a huge hit once, and add everything to it in order to make it a hit today!! Yes, the [people] from Sweden that brought us masterpieces like "Obsession" and "Lit de parade" are back again, and this time they aim for a wider audience, music for all generations; Their cover to Fifth dimention's "Let the sunshine in" is NOT what you'd expect. Beginning with the first verse - Dominika makes a kind of rap (like she always does...) and makes you listen to lyrics like "We starve, look at one another short of breath, walking proudly in our winter coats, wearing smells from laboratories, facing a dying nation" in a different way. The chorus sounds more like the original version, but much more dancable, and then, suddenly, in the middle of the song you realize that the Army has turned the "no more war" hymn into a total Army of lovers propoganda, when Jean-Pierre screams: "Stockholm, Sweden! Sweden! across the Baltic sea..."
When the song ends you can't just close the stereo, but you feel you must listen to it again and again.
don't forget that the CD-single also features the music video of "Let the sunshine in", and if you know Army of lovers, you should know that their videos are something very very different and special than any other thing you see on MTV; On this video they went outside their studio for the first time all the way to Kuala Lumpur to film it, and the result - A brilliant, funny video. especially the part when the band members toast Marshmello on the remains of Alexander Bard's head.
I recommend buying it with all my heart, so open your mind, your heart and your ears and LET THE SUNSHINE IN!!!!

Army of Lovers returns with this dance remake of a classic musical song. The third track is a 7-minute mix that's kinda funky and has a nice intro. The fourth track is really an MPEG video (not Real Audio) on the data partition of the CD, and it works on both Macs and PCs.

Army of lovers is Back!. New single let the sunshine in is originally part of a classical musical called "Hair". Let the sunshine in has now dance beat, a real techno sound. This song reminds me of King Midas...which is very goos track too. Army of lovers release their new album Le Grand docu soap 17.5. Great return!...

Well. Army of lovers is finally Back!. Let the sunshine in is part of an legendary musical called "Hair". Army of lovers has given the song a dance beat, and it reminds me of King Midas, 70's glam disco. This is great gay-disco!. Really...you should buy this because this is really one of the best singles of army!. Buy it because if you don't i'm sure that you will cry
