Join the 80s mixtape adventure as we journey through the transformative musical landscape of early 1980. In this episode, our host dissects iconic tracks that mark the transition from the late 70s to the quintessential 80s sound.
We start with Andrew LLoyd Webber and Marti Webb, with their evocative breakup song "Tell Me On A Sunday" from the musical of the same name.
Encounter the evolving sounds of funk through the Average White Band's groove-filled Let's Go Round Again and the heartfelt ballads of Michael Jackson's She's Out of My Life. Discover the origins of British rock giants Whitesnake with Fool for Your Loving, and feel the ska revival with The Beat's Mirror in the Bathroom.
We end with an exploration of the wonderfully idiosyncratic Jona Lewie and his introverted hit You Will Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties.
This episode captures a pivotal moment in music, tracing the shift from disco's last dance to the rise of new wave, synth-pop, and beyond. Tune in and relive the melodies that defined a decade!
