“Twin Flame” is the first song I heard off The Aces new album, Gold Star Baby, which had me excited for the album with it’s building dance beat and “Welcome To Gold Star Baby” (I’m really not a fan of intros or interludes, this album has both) promised an album “serenading you with sounds of sexy disco pop magic all through the night.” You can’t tease me like that and then have an album with no retro 70’s trash vibes, it left me with blue disco balls. “Spending The Night’ might have a whisper of a Donna Summer classic…or it could’ve been a moan as she rolled over in her grave with the suggestion that this is disco.
That being said, Gold Star Baby is like promising me cake and delivering pie, it’s still a tasty treat. In my gay opinion, it’s a solid pop-dance album with the sound of today. The Aces have a unique style and Gold Star Baby represents, it doesn’t need to try and fit into another category when it’s perfection in it’s own lane. It’s the ideal album to throw on while getting ready to go out, in the car on the way to the club (leave your bell bottoms at home) or just need a pick-me-up. It’ll have you feeling good and ready for a good time.
