O'Spada: "Ten Strikes" (MP3)

2:22 p.m. · November 12, 2009 · by Chris Bosman

For those willing to be caught singing falsetto into a hairbrush for the next few days comes "Ten Strikes," a contagious piece of disco-funk complete with slippery slap bass, over-the-top synth stabs, and wah wah guitars from Swedish group O'Spada. The track bounces from an incessant 70s dance groove to classic R&B soulfulness when the beat drops, with singer Julia Spada easily traversing the transitions. "Ten Strikes" proves that there is plenty of fertile middle ground between a Madonna video and Studio 54. [Fader]
