Flirting with Biases Pt. 1: Album

Scissor Sisters

Ta-Dah! (2006)

Scissor Sisters’ greatest dance hit is about someone who doesn’t feel like it. That says something. With collective PhDs in fringe elements (in more ways than one), the retro-clectic group weaves all the better parts of disco and glam rock into pop that defies such contrived categorization.

An impressive sequel, Ta-Dah! delivers catchy tunes that read like kitschy modern poetry. The fivesome sparkles in ‘She’s My Man,’ ‘I Can’t Decide’ and ‘Kiss You Off’ – lead vocalist Jake Shears’ fabulous screech leading the way. Similar to David Bowie and the Bee Gees, collaboration with Elton John only bolsters these audio re-trendsetters.
