Electronic pop musician DΛVIS Mallory has released
his latest album tled Back to the 80s, a collec on
of songs inspired by his love for the decade that
brought us New Age, Synch Pop, and Hair Bands. On
his album, DΛVIS takes us on a sonic journey through
the decade as we reminisce the sounds that made
the 80's so iconic.
The album begins with the tle track and con nues
with the upbeat, bass-heavy "Jane Fonda" an ode to
the actress from the same hometown as DΛVIS (At-
lanta).
Back to the 80s was wri en over a span of 5 years
with tracks recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, Malmo
& Stockholm, Sweden, Los Angeles, and Berlin, Ger-
many as DΛVIS fine-tuned his sound in the Retro/
Disco/Funk format.
Lead single "Sun and Moon" started off this direc-
on, and DΛVIS credits the passing away of musical
icon Prince as a key influence in DΛVIS' shi in his
musical sound. Other standout tracks on the album
include "Wild Child" with Dutch producer Vence -
a tribute to DΛVIS' wild cat Xena, "Cologne" which
launched DΛVIS' limited edi on cologne brand, "Per-
fect Romance" a disco ballad in the vein of Lizzo or
Miley Cyrus.
The album ends with two fabulous covers: "Don't
You Want Me" by Human League and a rendi on of
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper with
new lyrics "boys just wanna have fun."
