Subject: The Weeknd' "Blinding Lights" is one of the few recent songs I love
Written By: imrane on 02/03/20 at 3:29 am
Could "Blinding Lights" be the start of a return to late 2000s/early 2010s happier-sounding music without mumbling? It sounds like an 80s song or a retro styled song from 2009-2014 to me, yet fresh in the sea of mumble gibberish songs.

It’s one of my current favourite songs too.

I'm actually liking it better than "Heartless".

There’s also that Dua Lipa song “Don’t Start Now”, which is a bop. I hope we get more songs like these in the early 2020s.

Love that weeknd song. Sounds very 80s to me. Even has an 80s sounding synth patch.

I hate it. There's not a single popular song I like right now.

It does remind me a little bit of "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart (a 1981 hit), due to the synth and the drumbeat.

I hear that from a lot of people. But I never heard any similarity that really stood out. To me it sounds more like “Take On Me”. Same reason, the synth and drum machine.

If artists have to emulate older decades to make good music then so be it. Much better than the mess that was 2010s music.

I have no idea why I said this since I ended up liking Blinding Lights :-\\ It's not very original but it's catchy and will be remembered as the anthem for the early 2020s and Covid era.

You must have been under a spell. Reminds me of "Bewitched" when Samantha would twitch her nose and make somebody say something, and then they shake their heads and say "I have no idea why I just said that!". ;D

I also think Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now" reminds me of that time, which is probably why I don't listen to it now even though that song and album are otherwise good.

For me, besides Blinding Lights, is Say So by Doja Cat.
