I’m A God - My Life Story (Synth Pop) Get ready to be transported back to 80s synth pop with My Life Story’s latest single, “I’m A God.” As soon as the track starts with those plucky synth arpeggios and guitar solo, you know to prepare yourself for some time travel. The vocal leads seal the deal, with the entrance of a resonant baritone reminiscent of the vocals of that era, both in tone and delivery. At first blush, Duran Duran comes to mind. The track itself is super catchy and very sing-along-able, with My Life Story using the framing of being a god as a way to deliver descriptors about them—what kind of god they are—that tell you a lot about the artist’s point of view and values. And as the song fades out—a quality lost to the streaming era—you immediately feel as if it’s time to open the cassette tape deck and flip to the B side.
Best Lyric: “I am the right, the right between your eyes.”
