Where Play Boy is all dancefloor drama with massive beatbox, Roissy (probably named after Paris' international airport) is sublime on the more cheesy, naive and poppy side of italo.
This tune is more recent ('88) and sounds like a synth overdose, but still by some kind of magic manages to reach something very special, with its heartbreaking melody and approximative girl voice that sounds like a japanese schoolgirl lost in an airport, trying to sing in English in some kind of retro-futuristic karaoke.
So fragile, so melancholic, so naive, so wonderful.
