Pop/Review Ralphy - Disco Sally
Australian indie pop sensation Ralphy has been making waves in the U.S. since her 2016 debut, when she quickly became known in the LA music scene for her passionate, heart-pounding music and high-energy live performances. Fusing retro glam with her own fierce contemporary style, Ralphy’s music spans genres, from sultry R&B to moody ‘80s new-wave and disco-flavored dance-floor bangers.
“Disco Sally” by Ralphy is a vivacious and exuberant musical creation that features a refreshing collaboration between Ralphy and the innovative producer, Sam J. Garfield. Sally Lippman lived her life to the full after finding herself dancing night after night at the famous disco nightclub, Studio 54. This track pays tribute to that vibrant disco era.
The song epitomizes of disco as it once was, a time when the dance floor was the place to be. “Disco Sally” is a whirling musical with a quick, fast beating heart rhythm, the low bass thump which simulates the lights flashing on a disco floor. Ralphy’s vocals just add to the charm of the song, alternating smoothly between throaty and alluring to breathy and bright. An infectious groove will make sure that listeners will be humming even after they have heard it once.
In fact, the lyrics co-written by Ralphy in collaboration with creative partner Matthieu McReina disclose a rare occasion where people from different walks of life can be “fun, sexy, wild and free.” The song is a safe haven even for the misfits.
The genre-bending production technique by Sam J. Garfield is what makes this track unique other than Ralphy’s energetic and infectious music. This is a tribute to the crucial self expression that one experiences on the dance floor where they let loose and unleash themselves. “Disco Sally” is the embodiment of disco and the spirit of freedom and the individual that disco affords.
To conclude, “Disco Sally” by Ralphy is a vibrant and celebratory musical journey that pays homage to the glory of disco and makes it sound fresh. This song is a well deserved homage to the feeling of Studio 54 and dancing as means of self-expression. The song is a delightful and infectious one that you cannot stop dancing and singing along.
