This long-awaited “solo” return doesn’t sound like Moroder had as much creative control (especially over the guest curation) as he deserves. Somebody send RCA the memo: You can’t squeeze blood from a mirrorball

Hopefully this is a means of blowing away the cobwebs before something more substantial and meaningful appears from Moroder’s studio

Despite its unevenness, at its best Déjà-Vu is an entertaining return from a dance music legend looking to translate his style into something that isn't overly familiar
