DDOSFB#1 - Cut Copy

Electro-pop

This genre stands in the shadow of the more mainstream electro hype today. However, it is significantly sweeter, cheesier and soaked with melancholy.

Mainly influenced by the 80s and 90 with the synthesizer feel of the 80s and the often sweet singing and melody styles that typifies 90s boybands and girlbands.

The beauty of it is the modern twist and feel of it even though there is such strong influence of those years before (especially bass and bass line).

This song features 80s synths and a singing style that resembles Madonna quite a lot (even though it's a man singing).

What makes it great though, is the two small bits with a definite 80s-90s sample with synths and cheesy boyband melody singing. Do you ever like a song just because of one or two small bits..? The rest of the song has a very melancholic feel. The sax at the end is pretty 80s.

Play it a couple of times
