I've been going through a little revival session this year and I was absolutely delighted when I purchased this album. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I absolutely loved it, hence my purchase.

I absolutely loved singing along to Word Up, One Nation under a groove, Last night a DJ saved my life, Sex machine and All night long! However, all the songs bring back some form of memory, whether it was when I first heard it in a club or remembering my mum singing along to these songs while doing the house work. This album really makes you think that you should be on X Factor!! LOL!! This album will make you feel good and it's great to exercise to.
Buy it and try it!!
