Album lore

Ready To Live A Lie (2025) is a italo disco artifact by Sally Shapiro. Issued on Italians Do It Better. 11 tracks on the release. The resolver matched "Rent" from this album. Who exactly is Sally Shapiro? The world may never know: Since emerging in the mid-2000s with perfectly melancholic Italo-disco throwbacks like “I'll Be by Your Side,” the reclusive Swedish diva (technically half of the duo of the same name, alongside producer Johan Agebjörn) has preferred not to reveal her real name, pose for photos, or perform live. Nevertheless, the duo’s shy but pathos-ridden synth-pop garnered a decade of critical acclaim before they announced their retirement with the 2016 single “If You Ever Wanna Change Your Mind.” The title turned out to be apt: Sally Shapiro un-retired two years later, then released 2022’s Sad Cities, their first album since 2013.
