Disco Volante (known as No Feva, No Life!! for the digital release)[1] is the fourth studio album by Japanese-Colombian singer Lisa of the group M-Flo, which released on November 11, 2009.[2] The album was the final chapter in Lisa's "luxury disco" series, which started with the extended plays Ready to Disco (2008) and Got that Fever, (2008) and featured a primarily dance, house and electro-pop sound. The album's leading promotional song, "Falling for You...", saw Lisa reunited with her former bandmate Verbal from M-Flo.
Background and development
After releasing her greatest hits album Lisabest: Mission on Earth 9307 in June 2007 which chronicled Lisa's solo career away from M-Flo, Lisa began working on a series of dance music extended plays entitled the "luxury disco series", which focused on house, electro and disco music.[3][4] Originally the releases were intended to be three extended plays themed around different seasons of the year.[5] The first of these, Ready to Disco, was released in February 2008.[5] The second EP, Got that Fever, was led by the track "Leave", which was produced by Britney Spears collaborators Bloodshy & Avant.[4] It was released in August, and on September 9, 2008, Lisa performed at the El Divino club on Ibiza, in front of a crowd of 2,000 people.[6]
In late 2009, Lisa took part in M-Flo's 10th anniversary project. She recorded the song "Sound Boy Thriller" for the group's compilation album MF10: 10th Anniversary Best in October,[7] and performed during the M-Flo 10 Years Special Live "We Are One" special concerts, held on November 14 and 15 at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium.[8]
The album featured two songs each from the extended plays: "Leave" and "Other Side of Now" from Got that Fever, and "Crave" and "Send My Heart" from Ready to Disco, as well as a Japanese version of a song that Lisa released for the dance music compilation album House Nation: Beach '09 in July.[9][10] In addition to these songs, the album also featured four high-profile collaborations that featured Lisa as bonus tracks: "House Nation" (2008) from the dance project Ravex's album Trax,[11] "Fire Woo Foo Foo" from rapper Diggy-Mo''s album Diggyism (2009), "My One Star" from DJ Makai's album Stars, and "Sound Boy Thriller" from M-Flo's compilation album MF10: 10th Anniversary Best (2009).
Promotion and release
"Falling for You..." featuring Verbal from M-Flo was the leading promotional single from Disco Volante.[10] The song received a music video,[12] and enough radio airplay to reach number 54 on the Billboard Japan Adult Contemporary Airplay chart.[13] In addition to "Falling for You...", several songs were used in promotional campaigns. Three songs were used as TV Asahi television program theme songs: "Send My Heart" for the variety show G-Tech,[5] "Leave" for the variety show Kanzen Gekijō,[14] "Love" for the music program Future Tracks R,[10] "Traveler" was used as a commercial jingle for Mitsui Outlet Park,[10] while "Shake My Heart" was chosen as the TV jingle for the accessory brand Bliss Bear, after the album's release in December.[15]
Critical reception
CDJournal reviewers described the album as "composed entirely of eurobeat, upbeat positive tunes", and in particular praised the song "Alone", calling it "a precious ballad".[16]
