This music legend of the ’70s still reigns supreme! Her new 2025 album, ‘Looking Back,’ proves it. And, the absolute best track among these Amanda Lear songs is clearly, “When I Was Your Favourite Singer.”
Being totally honest, though, falling for just one composition is tough! As a fan of her glamorous, and romantic Disco grooves, I’m also hooked on the hypnotic chorus of “Rendez-vous,” even if I don’t speak a lick of French…
And don’t skip the Ballad take on “Strangers In The Night.” It actually sounds good, way more classic and elegant than a modern reimagining.
Heart Wide Open: Amanda Lear’s Candid Reflection
“When I Was Your Favourite Singer” hits you with acoustic nuances, but there’s no risk of boredom here! This tune is actually super cheerful and brimming with lively rhythm.
The French singer and actress reinvents herself with a contemporary Pop sound and sings with her heart wide open about nostalgia. She reflects on the critiques an artist might receive, but at the same time, she fills up with confidence and pride because she knows very well how valuable she was, and still is.
In the end, the music really comes alive with some spectacular violins and more intense beats. Without a doubt, the best of her new album, ‘Looking Back.’
