Ellisa Sun’s new release, “Talk to Ya,” is a time capsule steeped in the electric thrill that matches listeners directly to the glorious days of synth-pop. Channeling the melodious grooves of the late 70s and early 80s, Sun has crafted a song once a love letter to the past and a thumping hit for today’s dance floors.
Sun’s crisp, expressive vocals glide effortlessly atop shiny synths and gritty guitar solos. The production has a hard edge, evoking a harmonious sound. The lyrics deliver a playful jab, and it’s impossible not to shimmy along.
“Talk to Ya” moves in the steps of synth-pop pioneers but introduces a new, current vitality that occupies a cozy space in today’s electronic music worlds.
