Sweet: “New York Groove” (2020)
First a UK top tenner for glam rockers Hello in 1975, then covered by Ace Frehley in ’78, this chestnut is given a bit of a mashup treatment from Ballroom Blitzers Sweet.
The familiar chorus dovetails with Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” with surprisingly successful results.
From their pandemic-referential Isolation Boulevard, which also plays on the title of their 1974 hit LP Desolation Boulevard.
