Shine 2009 collaborate with Paula Abdul on debut album, reveal tracklist
Possibly one of the unlikeliest collaborations in recent years, Finland’s Shine 2009 have announced that 1980s megastar Paula Abdul is to provide guest vocals on the duos debut album, titled Realism, which is due to drop via Cascine on April 12.
Speechless? Me too. But I couldn’t be more excited to hear the results. Pop fact: Abdul’s 1988 debut album Forever Your Girl was the first record I ever bought with my own money. Still have it too – ‘Straight Up’ is still such a banger.
The track-listing for Realism is as follows:
1. Graduation
2. So Free (feat. Paula Abdul)
3. Public Exposure
4. One
5. Realism
6. New Rules
7. World
8. Naturally
9. Modern Times
We caught up with Shine 2009 some months ago around the time of their debut Associates EP was released, read what they had to say about their unique blend of ice cold pop here.
