80s of the noughties

They just don't make music like they used to. Yes there are some great songs being played over the airwaves these days but sometimes I feel that they're much too overly produced & generic. They're songs that are trendy and in for now but will easily be forgotten and replaced.

Which is why I personally feel that the songs from the 80s are still the best. I'm overwhelmed with feelings of nostalgia and good vibes whenever I hear my favourites being played. There's just something about them! I get a buzz whenever I hear current songs adopting the 80s sound.

Below are some 80's influenced songs that I've heard and liked:

Gwen Stefani

Cool (Love.Angel.Music.Baby album)

Early Winter (The Sweet Escape album)

4 in the Morning (-as above-)

Mika

Relax, Take It Easy (Life in Cartoon Motion album)

Rain (The Boy Who Knew Too Much)

Nelly Furtado

Promiscuous Girl (Loose)

Do It

Maneater

Ashlee Simpson

Outta My Head (Ay ya ya) - (Bittersweet World)

 
Alicia Keys

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart - (The Element of Freedom)
