about

"Swedish Italo-disco duo/legends Sally Shapiro unveil another gorgeous gem from their new album Sad Cities, coming next month on Italians Do It Better. The dreamily bittersweet "Down This Road" -- which features co-production + sultry electric guitar from Highway Superstar, along with a glorious sax solo from Jorja Chalmers -- is vintage Sally Shapiro, glimmering with a warm, achingly wistful melancholy and an undeniable romantic nostalgia that the duo seem able to conjure like no other." Gorilla vs Bear

"A delicious electronic and melancholic ballad." Rolling Stone France

"Softer vocal notes soar through the melodic body of the new ensemble. Sally Shapiro crafts the most mesmerizing arrangements and the new single is no different. A sweeter creation with the dreamy vocal notes and surging sax tones that obliterate the passages and add this stirring energy within the vision." Circuit Sweet

"The melancholic voice of Shapiro, accompanied by delicate synths, manages to create incredible dreamy landscapes of rare delicacy, to which is added the precious sound of the sax played by Jorja Chalmers. A small intimate, dreamy and melodic pearl" Indie For Bunnies

"A downtempo synth ballad that erupts into Lethal Weapon-style guitar and saxophone solos midway through the track. Sally’s breathy and reserved vocal is still the star here, an ASMR disco star if there ever was one." The Unskippables
