Sweet, Soft & Lazy: Jazz-Pop From & Inspired By The 80s

Flickr

I think the 1980s were one of the best eras in pop music with those big budgets and highly creative musicians. That’s why I like more recent music that was inspired by the decade as well, like the brand new songs from Parekh & Singh and Miles. Let me know what you think! 😊 

 “I wanted to make a record that would fit in between the Eagles and Michael McDonald. Those 70s and 80s records that had all the top LA guys are the favourites in my vinyl collection so I knew if I wanted to listen to it, others would too.” Adam (Miles)
