On this episode we dive into a sonic and lyrical subset of early-mid 1980s pop music that exists really nowhere else in all the decades of recorded music we have at our ear’s disposal. It’s a toast to tropical tones and Asian lyrical aesthetics of the over the top decade of the 80s, today on PopOff!
