Poptastic Confessions!: Crying At The Discotheque by Sophie Ellis-Bextor

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sophie Ellis-Bextor has gone and covered the 2001 classic track by Alcazar called "Crying At The Discoteque." Sadly, Sophie's spelling of discoteque has added the dreadful h. Thankfully, the cover isn't as dreadful as the spelling.

Sophie's cover has a classic disco sound. In case you didn't know, the original song sampled the music from a 1979 disco hit called "Spacer" by Sheila B. Devotion, which was produced by Chic. Sophie's version doesn't sample the original song, but it does recreate it. Besides missing the spoken middle part (originally done by Alexander Bard from Army Of Lovers), it is a faithful cover.
