California, by Michael Oakley

California

by Michael Oakley

supported by

Death By Neon Michael Oakley is a pure genius. He catched exactly what synth pop songs needs. It is very difficult to set a favorite song among California, End of Summer and Rabbit in the Headlights since all of them are instant cult classic songs.
Oakley has a perfect eighties voice and I'll die to hear him as a featuring on the next Timecop1983!
To be honest, I've first purchased the digital version, then the CD one, the the tape and finally the LP and even the T-shirt, Oakley is pure gold! Favorite track: California (feat. Missing Words).

Introspect
by Michael Oakley

supported by 129 fans who also own “California”

Michael Oakley has officially established himself as retrowave's principal singers. While some tracks are slightly weaker than others, when he gets it right, he gets it RIGHT. Just listen to "Control," "Push It to the Limit," and "Rain." And let's not forget the new classic "Left Behind"--not only is it one of the best tracks of the last decade, but Michael proved he could do the best of the 80s, BETTER than the 80s. cosmopolis

Thanks in Advance
by Ollie Wride

supported by 82 fans who also own “California”

I'm convinced Ollie Wride rode his DeLorean from 1985 to 2020 to deliver this brilliant album, and save music from it's present state for us all! First discovered the man on FM-84's Atlas, and am very impressed by his vocals.This album really showcases them well. Stellar Job Ollie, not a track that can be skipped on this masterpiece! (Side note: Had extreme difficulty picking a favorite on this album) Yamakami

Nocturnal
by The Midnight

supported by 81 fans who also own “California”

Still my favorite album by The Midnight and probably my favorite synthwave album across the board. Great musicianship and production with a deeply atmospheric and moody feel throughout. Not a bad track on this one. Ash-covered Ghoul
