Aquarium

Release Date: September 23, 2022

Aqua's Aquarium from 1997 delivers infectious Europop with cartoonish vocals, bouncing synths, and irresistibly silly hooks. The Danish group created candy-coated dance-pop that's simultaneously ridiculous and undeniably catchy, built on playground-simple melodies and René Dif's rap-sung verses trading off with Lene Nystrøm's sugar-rush vocals.

Standout Tracks

• Barbie Girl: The plastic-fantastic anthem with its squeaky-toy vocals and gender-play lyrics
• Doctor Jones: Bouncy medical-themed pop with an equally infectious chorus
• Roses Are Red: Nursery-rhyme pop that maintains the album's playful energy

Mood: playful, nostalgic, party, silly
