Nostalgic Authenticity: “Big Time” by Rogue FX and Mayah Camara

“Big Time” by Rogue FX and Mayah Camara Today, we’re opening the gates to our blog in classic style – classic '80s synth-pop, to be precise. Whenever the words ‘80s’ and ‘synth-pop’ are mentioned, Rogue FX is never far behind. Drawn to the essence of that decade, he dives deep to retrieve a flawless pearl and then showcases it in his musical shop window.  His latest track is called “Big Time,” a collaborative project with Retrowave/Nu-Soul artist Mayah Camara . The story revolves around a relationship at a crossroads, caused by the success and fame of one partner who has reached the “big time” mentioned in the title. Jealousy and insecurity take hold, but there’s a shared hope that the relationship can survive and grow.  Rogue FX cleverly packages this story in the big-city vibe of the '80s, creating an emotional counterpoint to the relationship through his astute selection of sound and rhythm – the big-time lifestyle of that era.

"Pariser Nacht" by Blaues Einhorn


Blaues Einhorn BandBlaues Einhorn Frankreich

Blaues Einhorn

They have no limits, no musical preferences but a lot of imagination! Blaues Einhorn arrives on the French scene and sings in German? Stop, let's catch our breath. Even if their music will not leave you any respite! Charlie, queen mother of the blue unicorns, tells in Wagner's language about the world of today, yesterday and tomorrow, while Flavien (alias FLVN, and member of the post punk / new wave band Order 89) plays the machines.
No fiction, just real life, but not the kind you'd like to hear. Nicht Essenziell is the first EP of the duo who engrave on four tracks the moods of our time. The 2020's... that's a beginning of a decade that we would have gladly done without and that we would like to never be confronted with again.
From behind the counter to behind the microphone, Blaues Einhorn is like this era. Uncertain, but made to last. Doesn't that go together? But Charlie and Flavien prove otherwise.

Pariser Nacht

"No fiction, just real life, but not the kind you'd like to hear. Pariser Nacht is taken from Nicht Essenziell, Blaues Einhorn's first EP which will be released on November 26th. Four tracks written in the language of Wagner, which will delight fans of new wave, post-punk and krautrock.", als Vorwort. 

Und diese Veröffentlichung, muss ich sagen, ist schon sehr "Out of the box" und macht mich vor allem auf das angesprochene Album neugierig. New wave meets Post Punk mit dem Touch eines repräsentativ-signifikanten Cold Wave Aspekts, die Betrachtung wäre natürlich auch invertiert gültig. 

Eine kleine Revolution oder eine Renaissance?, fragt man sich. "Pariser Nacht" by Blaues Einhorn as a lighthouse between New and Cold Wave.
