Think Pink Radio

Everyone’s blogging about this song – for good reason. Basically, it’s an OMD song, don’t kid yourself. This song could come right out of OMD’s best album Sugar Tax, and that’s high praise. That record came out in 1991, and I wonder if ceo’s Eric Berglund is old enough to be retro. If he’s not old enough to have grown up with OMD and Simple Minds on the radio, then the resemblance is that much more remarkable. I’m not one to begrudge someone’s sound as a direct descendant of another’s, as long as the heart is there. And the minor synths and earnest yearn is in this song make me SWOON! I’ve not been thrilled with any Touch Alliance album proper (Berglund’s first band) so if this solo debut (White Magic) is a step up, I’m excited.
