Midnight Sky

Love this song but the synth bit sounds familiar and very similar to an 80s disco tune. Does anyone know which song from the 80s please? Cheers

I know that it's a built-in feature with modern pop songs, but why do female vocalists sound like something from another planet?

They voices are produced and vo-coded to a point where they stop sounding human.

That's it Ellipsis! Thanks :o)

God! What a midden she is.

[tiggerblue10]

Lol, what's a midden?

Well you did ask, tiggs ( I like her by the way )

Often used to describe an outdoor toilet too.

I must be hearing it wrong but I can't get anything from Chic in that song.

[tonyav]

Neither do I, 237SJ.

[tiggerblue10]

Good grief!



Annnyyyway, back to the song........it's got a similar sound to Chic. Not exactly but hint of.

[tiggerblue10]

Ok, so can anyone think of another song from disco era / 80s with a similar sound?

[237SJ]

The only bit I get is a tiny, tiny bit of Forbidden Colours by David Sylvian but I don't think it's that either.

I'm not getting the Forbidden Colours thing. Love the song though and Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

The first 6 or 7 seconds reminds me of 70's Fleetwood Mac.

[tiggerblue10]

'Why' also has changed synth bit and it's slower. That's another possible.

[237SJ]

I would imagine it's just a sound that has been produced in a studio by someone and not sampled from a song.

[tiggerblue10]

Little lies?

Stevie Nicks is Miley Cyrus's favourite singer so I guess that could be it.
