Forever 1999 is the fourth studio album by Canadian pop duo Prozzäk, released on March 31, 2017 by Lefthook Entertainment, a music company founded by Jay Levine. It was their first album in over a decade, following 2005's Cruel Cruel World. The tracks "Pussy Cat Pussy Cat", "Love Fools Anonymous", and "Love Me Tinder" were all released as singles prior to the album's release. Additionally, the tracks "If We Were in the Jungle" and "Ooh La La" feature performances from fellow artist Catey Shaw.
Background
Following the release of their album Cruel Cruel World in 2005, and a few smaller endeavors, Prozzäk went on hiatus. The duo returned in 2015, when they reunited to play at the Atomic Lollipop Festival in Toronto. They also debuted a new single, "Pussy Cat Pussy Cat (Baby I Need Your Love)". This was followed by "Love Fools Anonymous" in 2016 and "Love Me Tinder" in early 2017, by which point they had announced a new album. When asked why they decided to revive Prozzäk after all of that time, Bryan remarked "I blame the fans.",[1] referencing back to the Atomic Lollipop Festival concert, which had been sold out with many struggling to gain entry. Some fans also showed up with costumes depicting Prozzäk's animated protagonists, Simon and Milo. Seeing that Prozzäk still had an active fanbase, the two were inspired to continue making music together.
Production
Forever 1999 was recorded at Lefthook Studios and Little Big Room, both in Toronto. All tracks were produced by Jay Levine and James Bryan. Levine performed lead vocals on each track (with the exception of "Hot", which was performed by Bryan), while Bryan handled guitars and some mixing. Catey Shaw, a fellow musician whom Levine had previously been a producer for,[2] also joined the duo for performances in the tracks "If We Were in the Jungle" and "Ooh La La". The Wackyboyz were also featured in "Ooh La La", along with "Love Fools Anonymous". Programming was done by Mike Sabath, as well as some mastering by Chris Gehringer.
