Fenech Soler The Cult of Romance

Airbrushed

Electronica and techno-pop are the tools of this mysteriously named threesome and they are adroit at wielding them. Sweeping keyboard loops and synth beats are used behind feather-like vocals and result in pumping dance anthems with all sorts of 80s throwbacks. It is one of those songs that has a little of everything to it, and reminds the listener of so much but doesn’t ever sound contrived. The best critique I can give it is to say: listen and enjoy.

4/5


The Cult of Romance

If possible, this is even better with its sound steeped in 80s electro-pop and the psychedelic-pop revival. Pop lyricism, synth backing beats and hooks combined with heavily synthesised keyboard makes this song another techo-dance triumph. Again it proves impossible to tie the song down into one definition, but their disco edge and retro sound combined with their youthful good looks should give them a substantial following of fans.

5/5

Words : John Elmes
