If you’re fond of the 80s, you don’t need a time machine to go back; Major Kami’s “IYOAB” will take you on this magical journey and bring the 80s vibes to you.
Straight out of France, “IYOAB” is an eccentric synthpop take that deserves to be admired for many reasons. The blended sound, retro style, quirky performance, and how it was brought to life by an international collaboration make this unique ball of lights, which is made of familiar colors but shines like nothing else.
“IYOAB” is short for “In Yellow, Orange, and Blue,” and the track’s atmosphere bursts with vibrant colors. It conjures up images of the dance floor and its giant glittering ball above it, with a bizarre setting where your present collides with a past you never knew existed, while kabuki dances around and electronic beats spread dazzling energy.
The Canadian singer Camille Miller, AKA Major Kami, offers an uplifting, playful vocal performance with her sweet-tempered tone, giving the song a tasty flavor. Together with the French collective DAMde8, they provide a sensitive canvas woven of mixed pop/rock fabrics and dappled with lush twists on synths, basslines, and percussion.
Put on your glasses because it gets bright once you hear “IYOAB.” It’s well structured to execute both the eighties’ and today’s flairs, offering an authentic number were yellow, orange, and blue are a perfect match.
