#Disco dance pop is back

#Disco dance pop is back

There haven’t really been parties during the pandemic, but disco-diva fever has been all the rave in 2020.

As Kylie Minogue releases her aptly titled “Disco” album on Friday, a look at how she, along with Dua Lipa, Jessie Ware, Róisín Murphy and, of course, Lady Gaga have twirled back to the dance floor — even when the clubs were closed.

After trading her dancing pumps for cowboy boots on “Golden,” her 2018 country detour, the dancing queen from Down Under takes it back to her rug-cutting roots. Minogue sounds positively giddy to be back in the land of sequins and flashing lights on tracks such as the impossibly bouncy “Monday Blues,” the galactic-grooving “Supernova” and “Dance Floor Darling” — a title that she owns and then some.

Most discolicious moment: “Miss a Thing.” From the moment she commands “Dance” at the beginning with the sweetest of coos, this is pure Kylie bliss.

After she scored an Oscar, two Grammys and a No. 1 single with her “A Star Is Born” ballad “Shallow,” there is nothing even remotely approaching a slow song on Gaga’s latest album, which landed in May as if arriving from some planet where the party never stopped. This was Gaga telling herself — and her legion of Little Monsters — to just dance again.

Most discolicious moment: “Enigma,” on which she channels one of her idols — David Bowie — with echoes of “Heroes.”

Jessie Ware: “What’s Your Pleasure?”

The British soul-pop siren soaks up her Donna Summer moment, getting in every last dance on one of the best albums of the year — period. You her hear the strobe-lit legacy of Queen Donna in “Pleasure” pumpers such as “Spotlight” and the “I Feel Love”-esque title track.

Most discolicious moment: “Save a Kiss.” It’s all throbbing sensuality delivered in cool, classy style.

Dua Lipa: “Future Nostalgia”

Releasing her second studio album at the end of March, the Grammy-winning Brit who broke out with “New Rules” kept the party on lock during lockdown. She then doubled-down on the dance floor by dropping the remix album “Club Future Nostalgia” in August.

Most discolicious moment: “Don’t Start Now,” the pop-house hit that pretty much wouldn’t quit.

Róisín Murphy: “Róisín Machine”

The former frontwoman of electronic music duo Moloko, this Irish chanteuse is a power stomper on her new LP, which was released last month. Combining soulful vocals with relentless beats on bass-driven tracks such as “Narcissus” and “Jealousy,” she’s guaranteed to keep your booty bumping.

Most discolicious moment: “Murphy’s Law,” a deep-house dive complete with a sultry spoken intro and shades of Lisa Stansfield.
