Pitchfork

The legend is, Swedish producer Johan Agebjörn had to coax little Sally Shapiro out of her self-conscious shell to record "I'll Be by Your Side"-- and once he did, she wouldn't sing while he was in the room. The result, however, is glossy and gorgeous, her bashful vocal radiating against a bliss-struck backdrop of italo-disco dancefloor nostalgia. Pitchforker Mark Pytlik called the track a "shimmery slice of disco with a chorus that would have killed at Eurovisions '81 through '86" in his four-and-a-half-star track review. It's been rocking the office stereo ever since-- and now it's yours, the latest addition to Pitchfork's Infinite Mixtape.
