Ruth - ‘Polaroïd/Roman/Photo’ (Alternate Mix)

 I’ve already mentioned this song a few times on this blog so I won’t go into it all again. Suffice to say I never tire of listening to it and I could probably listen to on repeat all day long forever and find something new to love about it with each spin. It’s so very alluring.

It was written by experimental musician Thierry Muller for fun to see if he could write a pop song and I guess this is why it sounds so playful and spontaneous. This is an alternate mix, with a few things done differently. The horns are different and there’s a different (but equally as coquettish) female singer. I asked him how the track originally came about and he told me:

‘I wanted to write a pop song which could be played on radio and in discotheque and which made girls dance and laugh about boys. It took time, but now it is in discotheque and in party.’

So you can be a legend in your own time, it just takes twenty years.
