Over the Pop is the third studio album by Italian pop singer Sabrina. It was released in 1991.

Background and development

Giorgio Moroder (pictured in 2015) wrote and produced two songs for Over the Pop.

In 1990, Sabrina was the hostess of the daily morning TV show Ricomincio da 2 with Raffaella Carrà on Rai Due, and appeared on the popular music show Festivalbar with a new single called "Yeah Yeah". 1991 marked a turning point in Sabrina's career: she performed a duet with Italian singer Jo Squillo in singing "Siamo Donne", her first release in the Italian language. They performed together at 1991's Sanremo Music Festival to much acclaim.

Sabrina's third studio album, Over the Pop, was released that same year, and for the first time she was allowed to co-write and produce some of the songs. It was clear that Sabrina's will to mature as an artist were emerging, and this desire for independence led to conflict with her management. As a result, the album promotion was interrupted and only one more single, "Shadows of the Night", was released from the album.

A picture disc edition of Over the Pop was released later in 1991, now including "Siamo Donne'". Also on this version of the album an album version of "Yeah Yeah", was replaced by the remix version of this song. The album's artwork was shot during her shooting for her music video "All of Me (Boy Oh Boy)"'s Italian version in 1988.

Promotion and reception

"Yeah Yeah" was released as the first single from Sabrina's third album Over the Pop. The song reached #24 in Italy. Then, "Siamo Donne" was released in January 1991 and was available only on a picture disc edition; it was Sabrina's first duet and her first release in the Italian language. This song reached #11 in Italy. The third single, "Shadows of the Night" was released on June 29, 1991 in Italy only. Originally written and produced by Giorgio Moroder, Videogram had the track remixed for the single release. The new version is a much dancier affair than the mid-tempo original. The B-side features a unique remix of "Siamo Donne", with Sabrina doing the vocals all by herself. Two formats were issued: A standard 12" and a 12"-picture-disc (which proved to be Sabrina's last picture-disc release until 2010).
