Shubidua - Shubidua

Review by Gina Ritchie

Shubidua, the self-titled album by the Danish band Shubidua, is a delightful mix of pop, rock, and folk music. Released in 1974, the album features catchy melodies, witty lyrics, and a unique blend of instruments that create a distinct sound that is both playful and sophisticated.

The opening track, "Fed rock," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat rhythm and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. The song is followed by "Hvalen Hvalborg," a humorous ode to a whale that became a hit in Denmark and remains a classic to this day. Other standout tracks include "Stærk Tobak," a bluesy number with a catchy refrain, and "Vuffelivov," a playful tune that showcases the band's ability to blend different musical genres.

The album also features several ballads, including "Danmark," a beautiful tribute to the band's homeland, and "Sorgenfri," a melancholic song about lost love. The lyrics throughout the album are clever and witty, often referencing Danish culture and politics in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
