Moby
Last Night

THE REVIEW

Full steam ahead. Last Night is a clear tribute to the '80s disco sounds, and this is evident in all the tracks of the album, none excluded. Each song exudes disco spirit from every pore, the opening one, Ooh Yeah, is perhaps the most emblematic example of (re)approaching a genre that has been dusted off and brought back into fashion after thirty years; the same goes for the following tracks, among which I’m in Love, the famous Disco Lies, and The Stars certainly stand out, all united by an ever-present verve with a clear dance influence. Behind Last Night lies a sparkling, playful, thrilling soul, but it would be blasphemy to compare the album in question to a musical peak such as Play. The Play era unfortunately bid farewell, with no chance for subsequent replay (pardon the pun). In fact, for Moby, since Hotel, an unfortunate waning phase loomed, from which it will be very difficult to recover. But, let's be honest, for lovers of the genre Last Night can only be a very precious gem. And so, overall, it passes the test, without falling into the already heard, despite the challenging revival of a genre, disco, which has been a pillar in mainstream electronic music from the '80s to the present day.
