Europop (album) Last updated November 13, 2025 Background The title of Europop describes its genre;it combines several dance styles unique to European countries,such as the United Kingdom's trip hop ,Germany's techno ,and Italy's dance music ,and songs are structured like typical pop songs. [ 2] The album follows a deep house template featuring vocoder vocal effects,synthesizer hooks,and "nursery rhyme choruses," [ 3] [ 4] with occasional deviations from it into string-orchestrated hip-hop ("Living in a Bubble") and "trippy" house stylings ("Now is Forever" and "Europop"). [ 3] Elements of 1980s synthpop dominate, [ 5] with reviews making comparisons to Depeche Mode [ 5] [ 6] (especially towards "Your Clown" [ 7] [ 3] ),Erasure , [ 5] [ 6] a-ha ,and Duran Duran . [ 6]
The album features pitch-corrected vocals and Euro disco beats throughout. [ 8] Eiffel 65 perform all the songs on this album in English.
Reception Contemporaneous reviews from Entertainment Weekly ,the Houston Chronicle ,and The Plain Dealer welcomed the humorous,light-weight dance-pop style of Europop in a pop music market saturated with mostly dour music,calling serious cuts such as "Your Clown" and "Now is Forever" the LP's weakest. [ 5] [ 7] [ 6] Reviews from The Plain Dealer and Rolling Stone also appreciated its rejection of intellectual pretentiousness common in electronic music . [ 6] [ 11] On the other hand,the album was criticized for a lack of differentiation (in composition and production techniques) between songs, [ 4] [ 5] with Jose F. Promis writing its best moments came when it combined its template with different genres. [ 3] In his review for Courier News ,Tab Benoit called Eiffel 65 a "one-trick pony" for using the same vocal effect for all tracks. [ 9]
The album peaked at number four on the Billboard 200Billboard Hot 100EDM song at the time of its release. In February 2000,the album was certified two-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of two million copies in the US.
