Look at the cover, there it is all summed up.
Frank Sinatra in a disco toilet? Almost. Geriatric techno? Well, someone tried to label it as such, and he took offense:
"They're the real old ones, I am young and beautiful" And who could argue with that?
At 56, having honed his craft as a crooner (soft and sentimental), Viennese Louie Austen decided to get a move on by teaming up with Neugebarger and Pulsinger from Cheap Records who blended his soft and deep voice with electronic beeps worthy of the best '80s dance music - the fantastic "I Believe in Love Again" is a mix between Flashdance and Heaven 17 - and then hip-hop, house, dub rhythms, a bit of rap in "Pain," the most languid track - where at a certain point if you have a Nokia ringtone you'll start searching all your pockets to figure out where you put that damn phone, just kidding! - and even a pinch of jazz in the last track "Where Will It End".
But what do the lyrics of Easy Love talk about? About love, of course, and sex, though maybe that not so easy kind...
Louie starts off well "Let's do it together, let's make it tonight, you don't know me however, the feeling is right..." but then... "She whispers relax and you would dare, she offers you sex that you cannot bear"
Noooo, but how? Is it the fault of age? It doesn't matter Louie, I just felt like dancing... "Danger, danger, danger, never fall in love with a stranger..." Oh yess, I turn up the volume..."Come on shake your body, come on and dance with me, I love the smiling faces, cause it's my destiny..."
