Swedish duo Sally Shapiro (the project of producer Johan Agebjörn and an anonymous singer who goes under the name Sally Shapiro) recently announced that they were calling it a day and releasing one last single, “If You Ever Wanna Change Your Mind.” Now the song has a video. Jarett Sitter directed the animated clip, which is about a little girl’s adventure on a straight planet. The video’s unveiling is timed to 10 years to the day since the duo shared their debut release. Watch it below, via Stereogum (who premiered it).

“If You Ever Wanna Change Your Mind” will be released as a white 7-inch single on May 12 via Fika, with the B-side being an acoustic cover of David Guetta’s “Dangerous.” The A-side was co-written by Roger Gunnarsson and co-produced by Mitch Murder and will also feature on a forthcoming Sally Shapiro compilation on Paper Bag.

In a recent press release the duo explained their break-up: “Our musical tastes don’t overlap that much anymore. Johan is more into ‘90s-style electronica these days, and Sally is into non-electronic pop. In three years, we’ve only managed to record these two songs as Sally Shapiro, so with this single we have decided to call our musical project a day, and we would like to thank everyone who followed us on this journey.”

The Italo disco duo garnered acclaim and attention from music blogs with the release of their 2006 debut album, Disco Romance, and followed that up with two other albums, 2009’s My Guilty Pleasure and 2013’s Somewhere Else. Revisit our 2009 interview with them.
