Is somewhat like that staple 80's sound based on Michael Jackson's classics that everyone was copying back them... It was/is so used everywhere by everyone that is hard to use it nowadays without sounding old...

I listened to him in the 2000's and thought they were regular to annoying, and as I think of today, it sounds even more nauseating. I agree with what someone else said that Globe's song were slightly more well produced than the rest, because it's true, from the whole TK discography, Globe's were the ones able to age a little more properly than the whole rest of his productions. On the other hand, a lot of Michael Jackson's 70 and 80's songs, I only got to listen to them around 2008 (a yerar before his death), and they were amazing, and still are some of his best songs. MJ ages/d properly. TK doesn't/idn't, because most of his old composition are quite cheesy (though it's a bit of unfairness imo to compare MJ to any other pop composer in the world). Don't get me wrong, I love and am very nostalgic of music from the past, I love how in the 80's there was more use for sax in songs and the drum beats were much more drmatic like those in "Live To Tell". This kind of stuff makes you notice the song is old, but it still makes the sound stand fairly nicely and uniquely up to nowadays in my point of view; with TK songs, I dunno, maybe the problems was he actually had amateur singers to sing his compositions back then? But I think even with a great singer it still would sound sort of off and cheesy somewhat...like ayu's SIGNAL song..., which I like but I know it's one of the main ayu songs that aged pretty badly.
