Stopp, Seisku Aeg!
Kaes On Aeg aka I Feel Like Making Love

Those delighted by Tallin’s Porridge Bullet great job of documenting the late ’80s and early 90s period of Estonian music and eager to learn more of the Eastern European country’s music heritage should delve into the discography of Frotee. The label’s latest release throws the spotlight on Estonian soul singer Velly Joonas, specifically the covers of European songs she recorded during the 1980s. “Stopp, Seisku Aeg!” (or “Stop! Stall the Time!”) is a cover by Joonas of “I See Red” from Frida, with the Estonian providing her own lyrics over backing from amateur group Vstretsa and seems quite faithful to the soft skanking 1982 soul number. Complementing this is a wonderful cover of “Feel like Makin Love” which Frotee suggest was laid down in one hour.
