DION & THE BELMONTS Extended Play: A Retro Joyride Through Doo-Wop Delights

Rating: 8.5/10

British Invasion? More like a Doo-Wop invasion, as the iconic DION & THE BELMONTS bring their timeless tunes to the modern era with Extended Play. This EP is a nostalgic joyride through the golden age of doo-wop, with slick harmonies and infectious hooks that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time.

From the opening track "A Teenager in Love," with its swooning vocals and jangly guitars, to the raucous energy of "I Wonder Why," this EP is a masterclass in retro cool. Dion's smooth vocal delivery is as captivating as ever, while The Belmonts' harmonies add a layer of depth and warmth to every track.

But don't be fooled by the throwback vibes - there is a modern sensibility at play here too. The production is crisp and polished, giving these classic tracks a fresh new sound that will appeal to fans old and new.

In a world filled with auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured bands, DION & THE BELMONTS prove that good music is timeless. So grab your pomade and poodle skirts, and get ready to jive to the sweet sounds of Extended Play. It's a retro delight that will have you begging for an encore.
