A New Day For You - Jay Roecker (Synthwave/EDM) Jay Roecker’s new track is a throwback to synthwave and pure 80s goodness. From the drumkit to the synth choice to the chosen delay for the lead vocal, this anthemic EDM track is just begging to get into the Stranger Things end credits. The construction of the track shows an expertise in song structure, from the build up through the conclusion to the twinkling bridge, sandwiched between the oft-abandoned intro and outro in today’s modern music scene. Jay’s vocals are strong, full and round, blending perfectly with his background vocals into a lush, hard-hitting production. Put this one on your 80s playlist right near Take On Me, True Faith and Shake The Disease.
Best Lyric: “Use your inner eye, let me be your guide.”
