Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring vocals by Lovefoxxx and co-produced with Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk, this synthwave masterpiece became the defining sound of the 2010s retrowave revival. The track gained massive mainstream exposure through its prominent inclusion in the opening credits of the 2011 neon-noir film 'Drive'. Its pulsing bassline and vocoder-laden hooks heavily evoke the neon-drenched aesthetics of 1980s cinema.
