The Profile

Army of Lovers is a Swedish eurodance/pop group formed in Stockholm by Alexander Bard, Jean‑Pierre Barda and Camilla Henemark. Famous for flamboyant, camp visuals and choral, hook-heavy dance-pop, they scored major early‑90s hits such as Crucified and Obsession. Lineups later featured Michaela Dornonville de la Cour and Dominika Peczynski. Albums include Disco Extravaganza, Massive Luxury Overdose, The Gods of Earth and Heaven, and Glory, Glamour and Gold; the group reunited in 2013 for Melodifestivalen with Rockin' the Ride.

Known for mixing sacred choral motifs with hedonistic, ironic lyrics and couture-level visuals; Swedish origins and ABBA-tinged harmonies noted in reviews; signature tracks include Crucified, Obsession, Israelism and La Plage De Saint Tropez.

DeBaser’s reviews paint Army of Lovers as a hyper-camp, ABBA-adjacent Swedish eurodance phenomenon mixing sacred choirs with profane glamour. Highlights include deep dives into The Gods of Earth and Heaven and Glory, Glamour and Gold, plus a love letter to Say Goodbye to Babylon. Expect praise for their theatrical excess, catchy hooks, and baroque production. The overall verdict is enthusiastic and celebratory.
