Disco Heaven
"Disco Heaven" is s song from former Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer Holly Johnson, released as the lead single from his 1999 album ''Soulstream''. The song was written and produced by Holly Johnson.
==Background==
The song was the first single in five years from Johnson, released on his own Pleasuredome label. It was the second release on the Pleasuredome label, following the promo release of "Hallelujah!", also from the ''Soulstream'' album. The single peaked at #89 in the UK, and lasted in the Top 100 for just one single week.
The song is about the friends Johnson had lost to AIDS. In an article by The Guardian in August 1999, the author Simon Hattenstone spoke of the song, stating ''"He wants to play me the new single, so we head off for his recording studio in the attic. The song Disco Heaven seems to be a celebratory throwback to his clubbing days. Johnson, now 39, still talks in the same high camp of yesteryear with a pouting stress between syllables."'' Johnson was quoted ''"It's a song about remembering in a positive way your friends that aren't here any more. You know they're all there dancing together in disco heaven."'' The article also noted ''"Johnson has plenty of friends to remember. He can count 15 friends with AIDS, all of them now dead."''
On the promotional CD single release of "Disco Heaven" came a card detailing info on the release. The card, issued by SizeNine, read ''"An artist and musician probably best known for forming the 80s phenomenon Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Holly Johnson returns with the infectious 'Disco Heaven'. The first commercial release on his Pleasuredome label ("in memorium to lost friends and loved ones, an ode to disco past and present") the single is taken from the forthcoming album Soulstream released September 1999. Holly truly captures the disco vibes that are currently storming the charts and the dancefloors."''
