Bop 2 Pop

New artist, Fiorious has just released a super-stylized video for I’m In Love With A German Film Star, whose dark streets/fog heavy, seductive black and white video reminds bop2pop of a hybrid of Ultravox’s Vienna and Depeche Mode’s Strangelove videos. Fiorious’ falsetto perfectly compliments the sinister, stalker undertones of the song and creates the perfect ominious and chilling effect. Fiorious is a Bronx-born Italian-American who gave up his job as a pop music critic to create the music he loves. Upon release, the 1981 original by The Passions, didn’t leave much of an impact, only reaching 25 on the UK charts, but has later gone on to reach cult level status, being remade by a roster of bop2pop favorites such as Katsen, Kish Mauve and The Pet Shop Boys.
