Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: Ferrara was an Italo-disco project, often featuring strong vocal performances over pulsating electronic arrangements. This single presents two tracks that are characteristic of the vibrant Italo-disco scene that flourished in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
"Shake It Baby Love" is typically an upbeat, synth-driven dance track, combining a catchy melody with a driving disco beat and soulful female vocals. Italo-disco often featured a prominent bassline (sometimes synthesized), repetitive hooks, and a slick, often futuristic production aesthetic, designed purely for the dancefloor.
"Love Attack" would likely offer a similar high-energy, infectious groove, further showcasing the project's sound. These tracks were staples in European clubs and provided a distinct flavor of disco that emphasized synthesized elements and infectious simplicity, differentiating it from the more orchestral American disco of the previous decade. Ferrara's work is celebrated by fans of classic Italo-disco for its pure danceability and distinctive sound
