Claudja Barry is a talent that is unique in itself. Her music has always been the disco period as it began in Munich, Germany with many musicians and artists growing with the genre. She is more known to hardcore disco music connoisseurs for her big 1978 dance floor classic “(Boogie Woogie) Dancin' Shoes” which was produced by her husband Jugen Kodorlech (Lipstique, Disco Circus). In 1984 a single titled “Born To Lover” was released and became a high energy hit. The project was produced by Jorgen Kodorlech and Bobby Orlando (The Flirts, Divine, Bonnie Forman) with an electronic arrangement in Orlando’s “wall of 80s disco” sound. The track feels like a 60s teen-rebel anthem that may have been recorded by The Chiffons. This fast moving number gives Claudja an opportunity to allow her vocals to source in the chorus and bridge. It is one of the Claudja Barry pieces that were underground and helped to keep the 80s moving in a high energy fashion.
I have taken the original 12” version and the 1985 remix of “Born To Love” and laid out more of the defiance in this ReStructure Mix. A use of percussion and a new beat foundation help this new version lead the energy right back at you again.
