Sandra in Lodz

Sandra is a German pop singer born in Saarbrücken in 1962, known for synth-pop and Euro-disco records produced with Michael Cretu. After singing with the trio Arabesque, she began a solo career led by “(I’ll Never Be) Maria Magdalena” and followed it with “In the Heat of the Night,” “Everlasting Love” and “Heaven Can Wait”; The Long Play and Mirrors are central albums in that catalogue. The 2008 Sopot International Song Festival featured Sandra in a concert devoted to 1980s pop, part of the revival-event circuit that became an important setting for her later performances. She later appeared at the recurring Legends of Retro FM festival in Moscow.
