Sophie Stanke
L'amour d'une diva / J'adore
It is no secret that Montreal had a bubbly disco scene, but there are still some under-the-radar gems. Sophie Stanke is one of them. The charismatic Quebec-Lithuanian actress, radio host and singer worked on the sexy boogie song ''L'amour d'une diva'' with no other than Geraldine Hunt. Scandalous at the time, it became a local disco hit.
Famous French singer Daniel Guichard noticed her and signed the song – slightly rearranged – in France on his label Kuklos. Here is the rarest original Canadian arrangement that Stima reissued, in all its glory: long and instrumental versions.
The other side includes the more obscure and even more erotic ''J'adore''. It was issued in 1987 under her first name, Sophie, with synth-pop and new wave influence. An instrumental was missing, thus Baerlz delivers a new dub cover and now each song has also its ''version'', in the purest 80s 12 inches tradition. Stima is proud to have her permission to reissue these 2 fresh 80s tracks to hit the modern dancefloors.
