Synthwave: Everything 80's Is New Again
PostPosted:Mon Feb 25, 2019 2:21 am
Really obsessed with synthwave music lately - basically, imagine if 80's pop ballads never went out of style, and had the benefit of modern synths and instrumental backing.
In particular, I just love The Midnight, from Los Angeles - kind of like a sweeter, more nostalgic, more saxophonish Duran Duran - and Highway Superstar, from Israel, who draws comparison to Phil Collins.
For those interested, here's a fuller introduction to the genre:

It's a really great antidote to the lack of diversity on American radio, and hits the sweet spot for those who miss the music of the 1980's in particular; something I really want to support.
