about

"Extraordinary...one of 2009's best" Popjustice

"How could anyone not like Sally Shapiro? That would be like not liking puppies or sunny days. My Guilty Pleasure is the second full-length from the Swedish disco darling, and it's another collection of sugary-sweet synth-disco tunes." XLR8R

"My Guilty Pleasure is certainly an improvement on Shapiro's debut, Disco Romance. As strong an album as that was, My Guilty Pleasure is more cohesive, its production more varied, its songwriting more effective."
Prefix Magazine

"This second full-length from Sally and producer Johan expands on their sound with forays into piano house and silky electro-pop but still retains their smoothly Italo-pop signature, and is just as consistent in quality as the first record." Vice (UK)

"Agebjörn and Shapiro have crafted something that over repeated plays seems more fully realised (and therefore more enjoyable) than Disco Romance ... the thought and loving detail that Agebjörn has put into his arrangements consistently repays close attention.
Combine that with some pop tunes the proverbial milkman could whistle (stand up ‘Save your love’) and a cover of Nicolas Makelberge’s thought-provoking ballad ‘Dying in Africa’ and you have a pleasure well worth the guilt." Fact Magazine

"Sally Shapiro's too adorable to slur for the immediacy of its charms." Resident Advisor

"Whoever she is, she produces the most perfect post- Italo chill-out and dreamy electronic paeans to lost summer loves. Nostalgia never sounded so relevant." The London Paper

"Sally Shapiro are becoming rather expert at constructing appealing reinterpretations of the origins of the genre. In the remarkably and justifiably confident My Guilty Pleasure, Agebjörn has produced another record that contributes beautifully to a still-growing scene." Wears the Trousers

"Shapiro's musical territory is one in which you'd happily reside for a long, long time. That's because her songs occupy that sweet spot where melancholia meets euphoria: the words may speak of sadness, but the music shows a bloody-minded willingness to go out and have a good time." MusicOMH

"Debutplattan "Disco romance" nådde kultstatus i electronikavärlden härom året och på nya plattan "My guilty pleasure" tar de ännu ett jättekliv framåt. Producenten Johan Agebjörn har en jättestor godispåse med 80-talssyntar han hämningslöst hetsäter ur och Sally själv pratsjunger över de ambienta tonerna med en lika stor självsäkerhet som det engelska uttalet är dåligt. Det har pratats mycket om de starka brittiska syntartisterna i sommar; med Little Boots och La Roux i spetsen. Det här är en bättre platta." TT Spektra (SE)
