Music recommendations? (This sort of slow groove electronic pop?)

Tom Punks · #1 16th April 2015, 09:01 PM

I have no idea what to call this lol. Also, sorry if this is in the wrong place, feel free to move, mods etc. etc.

Last night I discovered Russian pop singer Nyusha, who has some absolutely godly bops. I'm not sure exactly how to describe this sound other than "neon sex anthem" lmao but I'd love some recommendations for more songs of this genre/vibe/sound! I'm also looking for some 80s inspired electropop if possible, something like Son Dambi's Type B Back to 80s album. I'm not picky about language or country of origin as long as it's something I can download or buy in the US iTunes store.

I do REALLY HIGHLY prefer solo female artists for this, though, but if you happen to know of anything god-tier from a male artist or even a girl group I'd still give it a try.

Examples of the kind of stuff I'd like recommendations for:

And also, if possible, a little bit of stuff like this:

Thanks for reading!

Wow that's a hard request, but I digged up some songs.

Maybe it is something, maybe it's not. Sadly, I do not know many other asian songs than Ayu's (or the Queen of Hip-Pop/Play era from Namie Amuro) so most of the songs I will send you are english. Oh, and yes, TR/ST is a male singer, but "Dressed For Space" is probably one of my favorite songs I thought it was kinda in your genre.

Please tell me if this is what you were or were not looking for.

"Neon sex anthem" lol.

My recommendations may be something you've heard already, but are from more obscure releases so there may be a chance you haven't.

This mix doesn't not appear on the ayu-ro-mix album but is exponentially more enjoyable to listen to. A clip of it was used in one of those ayu-ro megamixes but the full version appeared on a seperate release by Super Eurobeat.

Lol, I know you said super eurobeat gives you a headache now but these two songs are what come to mind when listening to the 80's inspired tracks you posted.

Also, I typed in "neon sex anthem" into google and this song came up, lol.

I wish I could help you out (the music you posted sounds right up my alley), but that first music video needs a trigger warning for freaking me out

Woops, forgot about this lol! Thank you guys for the recommendations!

@luna: I'm kinda loving the Trust (TR/ST?) song with the trippy video! It's so 80s :O. I really like the 3rd song too! I don't like the production on the 2nd song but it is kinda along the lines of the sound I'm looking for. Just something sleeker and sexier would be nice. I do like music in any language, but the Green Children songs didn't resonate much with me. Your suggestions are a really good start, I'm just envisioning something a little smokier/sexier maybe?

@zeke: How did I not know this Kuu remix existed lol?! That single must be one of the few on jps without a flac version or something. I wish it was a little more ~lush electro~ and a little less 80s nostalgia. I actually really like that Neon Hitch remix hahaha. Maybe I should look into more remixes since finding original songs that sound anything like this is becoming a challenge X_X!

@zahara: lol I actually thought to put a "TW: CLOWNS" next to it after I went to bed the night I posted this, but then I was like "eh Ayu has creepy clowns all over everything she produces it's nbd"

I dunno if this exactly fits but I've been loving this track <3 Not really "neon sex anthem" lol but it has a really chill vibe to it I think you'll enjoy.

I literally just stumbled upon this song--maybe it's sort of what you're looking for? It's kind of on the slow side but definitely ~sexy~ lol.

I can't think of any songs like the ones you posted atm. I just wanted to say that this thread got me into Nyusha so thanks for sharing your taste, Tom Punks. I haven't changed my avi/sig set in years but after seeing Alone, I was so impressed that I changed it to my avi/sig on all the social sites I use lol. It's a gorgeous song and video. It reminds me a lot of my favorite photographer, Elena Kalis. (The water parts anyways...)

Son Dam Bi is great btw. I'm glad you like her! This isn't the type of music you're looking for, but maybe you'll like this anyways - DJ Amaya did a really great rmx of dB Rider (imo): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VEN0xnXAis.

PS: "neon sex anthem" ...awesome description. XD
