Album review: Giorgio Moroder, ‘Déja Vu’
Given a firm hip bump back into the spotlight with a cameo on Daft Punk’s “Random Access Memories,” disco godfather Giorgio Moroder, 75, makes his comeback official with his first album of new material in three decades, “Déja Vu.”
[...] the pop producer responsible for dance-floor staples such as Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” and Blondie’s “Call Me” isn’t interested in becoming a fetish item.
[...] he pairs up with a variety of contemporary stars — most, not coincidentally, his RCA label-mates — to put a fresh spin on his plush, precision-crafted electronic compositions.
[...] in other places, he gets lost behind the parade of personalities, particularly the relentlessly thumping “Back and Forth,” with Kelis, and “I Do This for You,” with Marlene, which could be the work of any faceless jockey working Vegas this weekend.
