(Retro) 60s Girl Group Pop: It's My Party! - Can I Get To Know You Better (2000 Mister Cat Records)

 


Producer John Giotto was the driving creative force behind It's My Party, a band that paid homage to the girl groups of the '60s while bringing their sound into the modern era. Giotto formed the group in the late '80s with a trio of female singers in their twenties, initially creating a sound more reminiscent of the Go-Go's than the Ronettes. When that original incarnation disbanded in 1995, Giotto realized something was missing from the equation: real teenagers singing those anthems of teenage femininity.

He recruited three girls from a nearby high school, and It's My Party was eventually formed. Although the singers occasionally rotated, Giotto remained dedicated to preserving the phenomenon of '60s girl groups through reinterpretations of both classic hits and original material.

Of course this sound is something for fans in the first place. Nevertheless you should listen to the (retro) sound of this project. Giotto as well as the musicians and all involved in this project created great pop tunes in the garb of the sixties girl groups. (Frank)Enjoy!
