Sophie Stanké, the charismatic Quebec-based, Lithuanian-born actress and singer, cut this mid-tempo, erotic, cult 80s boogie synth-pop / new wave / disco gem, "L'amour d'une diva / J'adore," back in 1987 with the hippest names on the Montreal disco scene — now officially reissued on 12-inch by Stima Records. 2024 reissue 12-inch. Now in stock.
Track List

Around 116 BPM: a scandalous electro-pop disco-boogie mid-tempo disco treasure, with sexy rapped French vocals that come off like a softer, French-sophisticated take on Sexual Harassment's "I Need a Freak." The reverse-tape dubby section in the middle feels great too. The instrumental A2, "L'amour d'une diva - Instrumental," is nice as well.
At 123 BPM, the melancholic Euro-disco / new wave and even more erotic B1 "J'adore" (sample3) is included in its long version. On top of that, there's a brand new instrumental dub version, B2 "J'adore - Platja Nord Dub."
Released by Srima Records, the acclaimed independent label based between Paris, Grenoble and Réunion, which has been carefully reissuing hidden gems of French Caribbean dance music such as "Jimmy Blanche - Dou Van Jou" and "Ulysse-Jean Rosemond - Naïma / Tiers Monde."
