5.0 out of 5 stars
The best things come to those who wait, 3 April 2010
This review is from: Dance Love Pop (Audio CD)
Finally released in the UK, after months and months of waiting (with minimal promotion and long after the initial wave of interest has subsided).
This is a superb pop album that contains the soundtrack of last summer in 'Release Me' and the inexplicably poorly received 'I Need You Now'. 'Love, Love, Love' is glorious - a glitterball of a song that starts in Copacabana-esque 'cabaret style' and then explodes into joyously knowing disco. It's melody is so familiar, so immediate, that you feel like singing along from the moment the beat kicks in.
Elsewhere, there is the melancholy Euro-disco of a remixed 'Big Blue Wall' (complete with the trademark Agnes ad-libs during the outro) and the harder-edged dance sound of 'On and On' (now remixed to sound more flowing, with a bigger chorus uplift & additional strings) . Best of all, new track 'Secret Love' is an immediate pop smash that just about slams its melody right at you: stirring synths, propulsive bassline and a brilliantly double-edge lyric make this an album high point.
The album's outer artwork is not as pleasing as the original 'Dance Love Pop - Love Love Love edition'. The sense of magic has gone, replaced by a more coldy efficient kind of marketing. Inside the booklet, the lyrics have been removed altogether. This, plus the removal of the excellent 'Don't Pull Your Love Out', is the only real disappointment.
It's a pity that the album's campaign has been messed around so much. Agnes has created a pure pop classic that may be destined to become a 'secret love', known only to a small number of UK music fans. Nonetheless, at least it's euphoric beauty is now available for all those who seek it out.

Radiating In Modern Pop, 10 May 2010
This review is from: Dance Love Pop (Audio CD)
Dance Love Pop is the exceptional worldwide launch album from pop sensation Agnes. Due to the further delay in the official release of the album within the UK, the Deluxe Australian Edition was purchased as an alternative. The Dance Love Pop (Deluxe Australian Edition) delivers on all accounts of the album title, offering 17 pure pop classics with a modern twist. Packed to the brim with modern electro pop anthems, it's a highly anticipated collection for the dance floor. The album features the massive success that is Release Me, alongside an eclectic mix of new tracks and remixes; of which particular highlights include the singles On And On, Love Love Love, Secret Love, and the ballad You Rain. Dance Love Pop is a well accomplished debut offering guaranteed to overhaul modern pop markets.

Terrific, 20 July 2010
This review is from: Dance Love Pop (Audio CD)
Why oh why did they delay the release of this in the UK for so long ?
It defies belief, and I'm sure because of the delay that people have
partially forgotten who this marvelously vocal and gorgeous singer is.
I love nearly all the tracks on this album with the exception of tracks
3 and 4. So much of her reminds me of Leona Lewis, her hair, her facial features, and of course, the voice. But they are not the same, with Leona a more classical singer and Agnes a pop singer, but each excels at what they do.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes the sound of Leona but wants the beat of pop. Blast out tracks 1 and 2 and feel the infectious rhythm take you away.
