TA-DAH - SCISSOR SISTERS
Although in the United States it sold only a fraction of its hefty sum internationally, the Scissor Sisters’ debut danced its way into many pop music lovers’ hearts — and iPods. On “Ta-Dah,” the glammed-up gang returns with its unique blend of pop/rock, disco beats and singer Jake Shears’ captivating falsetto. You can practically see Shears strutting his stuff on tracks like “Ooh” and lead single “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’,” co-written by Elton John. And there’s loads of campy fun to be found on “I Can’t Decide” and “She’s My Man.” Despite embracing the styles of decades past (specifically, the piano-driven pop of John and the Bee Gees’ disco-riffic ditties), the Sisters still manage to sound unique.
