‘New album sounds like ’80s Madonna’

From digitalspy.co.uk:

The Pet Shop Boys have compared their new album to Madonna’s early work.

The duo said their upcoming LP Electric sounds like Madonna’s first self-titled record, which was released in 1983.

“The album is meant to be pure enjoyment,” Neil Tennant told Time Out. “We realised that it was sounding quite early ’80s dance, like Madonna’s first album.

“This album has got that ’80s freshness but it still sounds, you know, modern.”

The group’s new LP – out July 15 – was executive produced by Stuart Price, who helmed Madonna’s 2005 album Confessions on a Dancefloor.
