Put the sizzle back into your summer with this red hot Euro-dance album from Swedish singer Petra Marklund, better known as September. This album combines hits from her previous albums and this particular version was only released in the USA.

The BIG song of the album is "Cry For You" from her 2005 album "In Orbit", and if you've spent any time recently listening to dance music you'll have heard this one several times. Other songs from "In Orbit" are "Satellites", "Looking for Love", "Midnight Heartache" and "Flowers on the Grave".

From the album "Dancing Shoes" (2007) there are the singles "Can't Get Over", "Until I Die" and "Because I Love You", plus other tracks "My Neighborhood", "Sad Song", "Candy Love", "Taboo", "Freaking Out" and "RIP"

Songs for your next party:
1. Cry For You
2. Satellites
3. Can't Get Over (sounds like a mix of "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals and "Come on Feel the Noize" by Quiet Riot. (NB - song title spelt "Come" instead of with a "u" to get by the censors)
4. Until I Die
5. Looking for Love
6. Midnight Heartache (samples "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes)

If you like Cascada and DHT, you'll like this album. Recommended for fans of dance music and people who just like shaking a leg ever so often.

After three successful albums in her native country of Sweden ("September", "In Orbit" and "Dancing Shoes"), Petra Marklund (a.k.a. September) makes her US debut with this compilation CD. Many may be familiar with the Dance Billboard Chart toppers "Satellites" and "Cry For You" (the latter with a very Kylie-can't-get-you-out-of-my-head feel), but there are lots of other great, catchy tracks on this CD including "Looking for Love", "Can't Get Over", "Until I Die" and "Because I Love You" (the latest European single release for September). "Midnight Heartache" is one of the standout tracks and would be a great candidate for US single release with its clever sample of Kim Carnes "Bette Davis Eyes" and its catchy chorus. The only down-tempo track on the CD is "Flowers on the Grave" - slow, beautiful, and also a successful single in Petra's native Sweden. All of the tracks on September are catchy, well-written pop gems with Petra's incredible voice, and also due to the production and talented songwriting trio of Van der Burg/Bhagavan/Van der Burg who are responsible for launching this up and coming dance artist to the top of the charts. Check out the three European September releases for more great tunes. You won't be disappointed. Read more about September at www.septembermusic.se and www.catchytunes.se

I am so happy that I purchased this CD. I had only heard one of her songs prior to purchasing this CD, but I love them all now. What a great artist. This is my official summer 2008 CD.

I have not been able to buy a dance artist's CD that I could play from "START TO FINISH" without getting bored and wanting to change tracks at some point. This album is so brilliant that it's a MUST have for anyone's CD collection that can appreciate good beats and vocals with high energy!

This is the best CD I have bought in the last 10 years. I feel like buying 10 more and handing them out to people who I feel would like it. The first time I listened to it, I already had 6 songs that I loved - after one listen! I can't say enough about this CD. This is the first time I reviewed a CD, because I feel that stongly about it. You will love this CD if you like dance music, trance music, or if you got an ear for some catchy Euro music. Buy this CD - you won't be sorry!

This CD is just ok overall, not bad, not great. There are some really good dance tracks but some are just ok and repetitive.

not a bad album. i was expecting moore songs like cry for you, but its a bit more pop. theres a few awesome songs like freaking out and rip and until i die.

Except for one ballad these songs have a good beat and make you want to move. Some songs are better then others but there are none that are terrible. In My Neighborhood starts out really bad but gets better about 20 seconds in. Overall this cd is worthy buying. If nothing else she's so pretty it's worth it just for the picture alone!

With lead singer Petra the group September's self-titled album is a pleasant trip through the bubbly world of dance pop. Using some distinctly US '80s electronic sounds, the album keeps moving you along with each song similar in style but different enough so that you don't get bored along the way. A good choice for anyone with a penchant for Eastern European style dance music.

This is a great album i listen to it all the time. looking forward to the new album love cpr soon.
