Here are some 80’s tunes for one reason or another had an impact on me growing up and thought it would make for a fun playlist this weekend, enjoy!
Herbie Hancock – Rockit
Frankie Goes To Hollywood – Relax, Don’t Do It
Depeche Mode – (Set Me Free) Remotivate Me
Naked Eyes – Promises Promises
Apparently, the main melody of the Cure’s, “Close To Me” is all the rage in UK. Two artists set to release the famed melody in their own compositions are Thomas Jules and Lady Sovereign. I personally, am leaning toward Lady Sovereign’s use of the melody. What do you all think?
This track is taken from her sophomore album, “Jigsaw” which is set to release on April 6th. BTW: You can also get another track off her upcoming album for free by visiting her myspace page here.
Thomas Jules – Get Close To Me
Thomas Jules is a soul singer/rapper from Brighton.
Vocals from Camden Chamberlain remind me alot of David Byrne of Talking Heads, which isn’t a bad thing… in fact it’s very much welcomed. And the music reminds me of 80’s band Sparks on this track.
