The Gayana - Kingdom album, along with the beautiful song of the same name, passed me by when it was released in 2016. But recently, I still was lucky enough to come across it. At first, it seemed like some unfamiliar gem from the 80s, but it’s actually a modern take on 80s music. Thundering drums, sparkling synths, female vocals with melismas, echoes of the Terminator soundtrack, the overall vibe of that time - this is not something that should have worked, but it did. I recommend it.
