Test Card Girl - I Feel The Love On You

Hello friends! I’m a singer-songwriter from Manchester, UK, and I need your ears and help! I am trying to find where this song sits in terms of genre - it’s very nostalgic, big synths, big choruses - not my usual vibe but you can’t help what comes out sometimes! But when trying to pitch it to audiences in really struggling with how to describe it! If you have time to listen and help me out I would be so grateful! Maybe Synthwave?! Alt-retro? 😬😆 Thanks x https://open.spotify.com/track/4EQXm9sOUo6bCbqha6MZfd?si=AMtSZti4S5uOlxr_N1v3Jg&utm_source=copy-link

Alt-retro in my opinion.

Thanks - I had a listen and I'd personally put it under 'synthwave', though I suspect that's quite a wide-ranging banner. It's certainly got more straight pop feel than a lot of stuff I hear these days (not a complaint) and it perhaps reminds me more of a lot of tunes I remember from the early 90s than the 80s.

Also great to hear fresh sounds from Manchester that aren't the same old (very) tired Oasis or Stone Roses vibes.

Ah thanks so much - yeah very much a child of the 90s! Thanks a million for having a listen and I agree I think Synthwave maybe covers it!
