Sally Shapiro : qui se cache derrière le mystérieux duo d'electropop ?
Mixer l’italo disco à la douceur de la dream pop ? Telle est la recette du duo suédois Sally Shapiro. Avec leur cinquième album, "Ready To Live A Lie" (sorti le 30 mai 2025 sur l'imparable label Italians Do It Better), ils poursuivent leur exploration de cette pop synthétique portée par la voix mutine de leur énigmatique chanteuse. Interview.

Ready to Live a Lie by Swedish duo Sally Shapiro is a tasty slice of synthpop in the 80s idiom (there’s even a cover of the Pet Shop Boys’ Rent). Pairs well with sunshine.

Sally Shapiro – Ready To Live A Lie
It's impressive that Sally Shapiro have maintained their air of mystique for nearly 20 years. For those unfamiliar with the Swedish duo's backstory, their 2006 debut introduced them as Johan Agebjörn and a mysterious female vocalist known only as Sally Shapiro, her real name always remaining undisclosed. They've never toured and, in fact, have only ever performed a couple of live shows.
