Album review: Mega Dance by Rebecca & Fiona

Dear Poptastic Readers,

Sweden's Rebecca & Fiona have a new album out called Mega Dance. We have already featured 4 singles from the album this year: "All Or Nothing""Älskling""Arena", and "Heartbeat."


Rebecca & Fiona have turned out an epic dance album with Mega Dance. We have reviewed each track. Enjoy!


1. "Intro" Written by Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick, Tommie Damberg, and Tor Rauden Källstigen. Produced by Rebecca Scheja

A deep voice comes in announcing Rebecca & Fiona's return to the dance floor. Then a female reporter chimes in, followed by a countdown.




2. "Arena" Written Rebecca Scheja and Fiona Fitzpatrick. Produced by Rebecca & Fiona and Carli Löf

This is probably our favourite single from them this year. It starts off a bit slow and gradually picks up and you just feel it in your bones. Before you know, the beat has captivated you. Pretty soon you will be singing along "1, 2, 3, 4."


3. "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" Written by Nigel Swanston and Tim Cox. Produced by Carli Löf

A remake of the 90s classic by Rozalla. They have remade this in a way that updates the song perfectly in 2024. We love it! We've added it to our 2024 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...





4. "All Or Nothing" Written and produced by Rebecca & Fiona

The lead single from the album! Hearing it fit into the album makes perfect sense. It has some tempo changes and emotions run high in the lyrics and vocal delivery. Those house keys.


5. "J'dore Nonstop" with House of Virginism Written by Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick, Tommie Damberg, and Fredrik Apollo Asplund. Produced by Lauer

The house keyboard returns here. A male vocal is on the verses with Rebecca & Fiona helping on the chorus. 


6. "Heartbeat" Written by Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick, Malin Axelsson, and Simon Hagström. Produced by Rebecca & Fiona, Carli Löf and Simon Hagström

This mid-tempo dance song was their last single. The house keys really add flair. Rebecca & Fiona's vocals are a bit more reserve during the verses, but they belt out the chorus!


7. "For The People" Written by Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick, John Andersson, and Jonas Edquist. Produced by John Andersson and Jonas Edquist

This has an ultra-cool electronica vibe. While this one might not dominate the dance floor, it will dominate your brain as it so groovy. This is great.




8. "Älskling" Written Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick, and David Jackson, who produced the track

The beat back up to a fast pace and before you know it, you are singing along "Ba ba ba ba ba" This was their second single released this year.




9. "Noice" Written by Rebecca Scheja and Fiona Fitzpatrick. Produced by Rebecca Scheja and Albin Myers

This is very in your face and a bit in your face, in a good way. The music is dark and intense. 




10. "Paradise" Written by Rebecca Scheja and Fiona Fitzpatrick. Produced by David Jackson

Another face-paced song. The vocals are pitched high on this one. You might think the Chipmunks are singing this one.




11. "Bubble Bass" Written Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick and Tommie Damberg. Produced by Carli Löf

This song definitely sounds like you could have a bubble machine going to this. This is a fun song with lots of attitude, that ends up sounding a bit uplifting.




12. "Love Has A Prize" Written Rebecca Scheja, Fiona Fitzpatrick, and Joel Dunkels. Produced by Rebecca & Fiona and Carli Löf

This space-age trip-hop ballad is a nice closer for the album.

  1. I'd never listened to them before but I really like this album which I listened to after reading your review. They sound like Bananarama (duo version). Is all of their music electronic dance like this?
