However, there are occasions when they veer outside their comfort zone. But the album's highlight comes courtesy of the Pet Shop Boys-penned "Baby," a glorious slice of understated and melancholic dance-pop similar to "The Loving Kind" they wrote for Girls Aloud, which reveals Alcazar's previously hidden sensitive side. "We Keep on Rockin'" is an uplifting blend of Chic-style strings and pulsating disco beats which could have been a dancefloor staple at Studio 54, "Burning" is a more contemporary club anthem which recalls the filtered house of fellow countrymen Star Pilots, while their relentlessly energetic Melodifestivalen entry, "Stay the Night," deserved to grace the Eurovision stage more than the operatic Malena Ernman number it lost out to. Despite its colourful '80s hip-hop cover art, Disco Defenders - a double album with the second disc separately titled Now and Then - shows that although the lineup may have changed, their trademark sound certainly hasn't.
Four years after announcing a hiatus, they return with a new vocalist in tow, Lina Hedlund, for their first album since the departure of founding members Annika Kjaergaard and Magnus Carlsson.
