Firefly

1980
Mr. Disc Organization

Lovely 1980 debut disco album from Italian three-piece Firefly, full of Nile Rodgers chicken-scratch guitars, creamy warm Rhodes keys, blue-eyed soul vocals and an opulent, velvety production that’s as smooth as the soft leather interior of a Lamborghini. For an Italo-disco album, there’s not much synth or sequencer work here, it’s mostly tightly-played organic disco/funk with some rich, sweeping ballads included too. The songs are stronger than many of the throwaway lyrics and melodies that often characterised Italo and together with the plush production and sharp rhythm section, Firefly possesses a charm and freshness. Suave, pristine polyester-disco.
