Our Take

It's time to throw on your dancing shoes and grab a bottle of bubbly because Saint Etienne's "So Tough" is here to soundtrack your next fabulous soirée. This album is a delightful blend of infectious pop hooks, shimmering synths, and dreamy vocals that will transport you straight to the heart of a 90s British rave.

From the pulsating energy of tracks like "Mario's Cafe" to the introspective nostalgia of "Avenue," Saint Etienne effortlessly straddle the line between euphoric dance floor anthems and wistful introspection. Each song is like a sonic time machine, whisking you away to a simpler time when the biggest worry was whether your club outfit clashed with your glow sticks.

But don't be fooled by the retro vibes - "So Tough" is a timeless album that still sounds fresh and exciting today. Whether you're a die-hard fan of 90s dance music or a newcomer looking to expand your musical horizons, this album has something for everyone.

So grab your mates, crank up the volume, and let Saint Etienne take you on a journey through the highs and lows of youth, love, and everything in between. "So Tough" is a joyous celebration of life, love, and the power of a killer bassline - what more could you ask for? Let the beat drop and lose yourself in the infectious grooves of Saint Etienne.

About the artist

Saint Etienne

Ah, Saint Etienne, the illustrious trio that has been enchanting listeners with their unique blend of indie pop, dance, and electronic music since the early '90s. Comprised of the effortlessly cool Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley, and Pete Wiggs, this London-based band has consistently impressed with their catchy hooks, sophisticated production, and undeniable charm. Their debut album, "Foxbase Alpha," released in 1991, catapulted them into the spotlight with hits like "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" and "Nothing Can Stop Us." Since then, Saint Etienne has continued to experiment and evolve, pushing boundaries and delighting fans with each new release. Their discography is a testament to their versatility, from the dreamy nostalgia of "So Tough" to the electronic grooves of "Tales from Turnpike House." And let's not forget their collaborations with the likes of Tim Burgess, Kylie Minogue, and Etienne Daho, which have only added to their impressive repertoire. But what truly sets Saint Etienne apart is their ability to capture the essence of British pop culture in their music. Whether they're paying homage to the sounds of Swinging London or exploring the gritty reality of urban life, their songs are imbued with a sense of time and place that is unmistakably their own. So, if you're looking for music that's as stylish as it is substantive, look no further than Saint Etienne. With their infectious melodies, clever lyrics, and undeniable joie de vivre, they're a band that's impossible to resist. In the words of their own hit single, "Join our club, join our club, join our club." You won't regret it.
