1979/1980 feels like a transitional era in popular music. A lot of songs from ‘79 sounded like “80s” music if you didn’t know the year they were actually released. And songs like this one from 1980 still have a 70s vibe to them.
I’d argue this song has more in common with “What A Fool Believes” from 1978. And the recent posting of “Pop Muzik” in the 70s music forum has more in common with the 80s sound. It was an interesting time.
Yeah, you can hear a lot of elements of ‘70s in this piece.
It’s just like a few days ago when I posted Pop Muzik to !70smusic@lemmy.today, a song that came out the year before this song, but sounds like something from 1985.
There’s definitely a period between decades where some people are sticking to the old styles and some people are embracing new sounds.
