Howdy all - Man I haven't posted anything here in years, good to be back! Looking for ALAs (similar artists) and any mix thoughts y'all have, my ears are fried!
Thanks so much!

Maybe The Police?

I'm hearing a bit of Roxy Music (or the followup band lineup, 801). More EDM than pop-rock to my ears. Very nice!

Hey thanks guys, I'm getting an 80s vibe from your ALAs, I wonder if it could be modern retro 80s style. By the way I love both The Poice and Roxy Music so thanks for that!

EO

Hi there! Ok so this is for sure giving 80's. For me, I would say this would fit into the same A-ha album that features "Take On Me". Like one of the chiller tracks. It's very catchy and enjoyable to listen to. The only mix thing I can maybe pick at is during the chorus, I hear a click that might be a bit too pronounced, or maybe it's panned in a way that makes it stand out more. I'm not an expert though. Great job.

Hey E,

It's positive, light and catchy. Feel good.

I also get an 80's feel, but not sure it's pure 80's, it could be modern retro 80s.

Being back on P2P reviewing one of your songs gives me a 2010 feeling. And that's a good feeling. Welcome back. I just recently started posting again here too. It's still a good place!

The lyric works ok for me but has more cliches than usual for you. They wear on me a little after a while. I hear a lot of 'you and me' 'together' 'everything we'll ever need' 'take my hand' 'meant to be' etc.

Thanks Dean! Yeah i might be too far into it to rework the lyric but I hear you on the cliches, I feel like they can work if they flow. Maybe just wishful thinking

Cheers man,

EO

I really like this EO! It does have an 80s feel for sure.

This doesn't sound like either of these songs but it reminded me of them a little. Check out Winnetka Bowling League "Sha La La" (kind of a poppy Death Cab vibe), and Billie Eilish "Lunch":) I would say both of these have a modern 80s vibe.
