Why The Weeknd & Dua Lipa Sound Like The 80s | Genius News
Apr 10 2020
Dua Lipa and The Weeknd’s latest projects, Future Nostalgia and After Hours, both contain songs that evoke nostalgia of the 1980s. From Dua Lipa’s “Physical” to The Weeknd’s “In Your Eyes,” the synths and rhythm call back to the dance floors of queer clubs of color from the late ‘70s and '80s. Genius spoke to Charlie Harding and Nate Sloan from Vox’s Switched On Pop podcast to break down why it’s possible for a song to capture the sound of a generation.
