* La Bouche, “Sweet Dreams,” RCA.

This duo has a style that would appeal mostly to those in a blue funk over the death of disco. Sounding like a black ABBA crossed with the C+C Music Factory, Melanie Thornton and Lane McCray invest attitude into such tracks as “Be My Lover,” but you’d have to be a die-hard Euro-dance fan to appreciate it.

* New albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor), two stars (fair), three stars (good) and four stars (excellent).
