A Fun, Energetic Hook-Filled Affair, October 30, 2009
This review is from: Smile (Audio CD)
With the departure of vocalist Evi Goffin, Lasgo has not missed a beat. Actually, the new vocalist, Jelle Van Dael, has a more melodic voice that is suitable for this type of music, which I would describe as euro-dance pop. From the onset, it is evident that these songs are not 100% original, but they are all quite good, particularly the hit single "Lost," an instant dance-pop classic. Other singles from the album have been released over the past year ("Out of My Mind" and "Gone") and are excellent as well.
This is another in a long line of excellent dance records released in the latter half of 2009 (Cascada's "Evacuate the Dancefloor", Kim Sozzi's "Just One Day", Velvet's 'The Queen", and Kristine W's "The Power of Music", Bananarama's "Viva") and the genre has not seen this kind of life injected into it in quite some time, particularly with the explosion of Lada Gaga onto the scene. This album by Lasgo stacks right up there with the ones I have mentioned, and the production is outstanding as well. Out of the twelve tracks, eleven are worth repeated listens. The songcraft is by far their finest out of all their albums to date. Even if you are strictly a fan of Goffin, this still might be worth checking out.
This is a great entry into a genre that is rapidly coming to life once again.

This could be the best dance CD all year. Almost every song on this CD is good and it sounds great to.

Terrific Techno Pop!, July 2, 2010
This review is from: Smile (Audio CD)
Hunting around YouTube and once again stumbled on some great pop/dance music! Lasgo is a trio from Belgium (don't freak out, all songs are in English....)who's techno based pop tracks are catchy, bass-pumping fun! Standouts for me are Alone Tonight, Gone, and Out of My Mind.....but most of the songs on the album make for great dance fare. There are the obligatory couple of ballads, which I feel fall a bit short, but those are more than made up for by the way the rest of the album makes you want to get up and dance. Give the samples a listen, and see if you don't agree!
