Album Notes & Community Reviews

Riding the absolute crest of the global dance craze, 'Go West' successfully continues the ensemble's campy, highly stylized conceptual group dynamic. The record offers massively infectious, heavily orchestrated dancefloor anthems designed for maximum club impact. Its enduring title track and 'In the Navy' became ubiquitous pop-cultural milestones for both the LGBTQ+ community and mainstream audiences alike.
