I’m not one to dwell on the past, but I must admit that music from the synthpop era of the 1980s and surrounding years holds a special place in my heart. Perhaps I’m biased, but I can’t help but feel that modern music has lost a lot of its originality and creativity.
Gone are the days from the synthpop era, when musicians sought out new sounds and experimented with their equipment to create unique and personal tracks. It seems like everyone today is content with replicating the same tired formulas that have already been successful in the past.
The result is a saturation of the market with generic music that lacks any real personality or flair. It’s as if every other artist out there is just a copycat, hoping to cash in on the success of those who came before them.
That being said, I recently came across an Italian band called The Kolors who seem to be breaking the mold with their latest release, “Cabriolet Panorama”. This song is a breath of fresh air in a world that often feels stagnant and repetitive.
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend giving it a listen.

Emil Svanängen is a one-man home-recording sensation and a renowned multi-instrumentalist. In his small Stockholm apartment, he works and records his music, crafting precious pop gems. As a result, he has sold numerous copies of his first three albums on his website, on CD-R, and through various mp3 blogs. The singer goes by the enigmatic pseudonym Loney, Dear, and is an endearing geek whose folk-jazz sound is irresistibly charming.
In 2007, the American indie label Sub Pop Records released Svanängen’s first studio album, titled Loney, Noir. His fractured, captivatingly yearning, and almost quivering high-pitched voice is bewitching. He sings wholeheartedly about relationships, love found, and love lost, with deep emotion.
The album begins with the gentle and delicate “Sinister in the State of Hope”. It is followed by the more upbeat and catchier “I’m John”, which may be the best track for newcomers to Svanängen’s music. It is a lovely piece that starts earnestly and builds up to a thrilling third part, where the pace quickens with the reverberation of the clarinet and drums, combined with powerful tenor vocals. It then swirls for a while before fading out with the soft clicking of drumsticks.

Many people are apprehensive about classical music, be it Western or Indian. Although it may be challenging to understand, it is possible to learn to appreciate Hindustani classical music.
The first step is acceptance. Acknowledge that at present, you may not be able to fully appreciate something remarkable due to various reasons such as hesitance or perception. Imagine being at a concert, feeling out of place as the person next to you seems knowledgeable and is enthusiastically responding to the performance. Don’t worry. Offer a polite smile and try to enjoy the performance.

Classical songs are often based on classical music. Listen to compositions by Naushad, Laxmikant-Pyarelaal, Jagjit Singh, O.P. Nayyar, Kalyanji-Anandji, or if you prefer more contemporary music, try Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, A.R. Rahman, Uttam Singh, or Aadesh Shrivastava.
Simultaneously, start listening to short classical instrumental pieces. For example, if you hear a song featuring a flute, listen to a classical flute piece for 5-10 minutes. You can find these on YouTube. Try to find similarities between the pieces. If you discover … ...Read the rest.
