As in the world of fashion, so in music we see recurring elements in the evolution of styles. The 2010s saw a renaissance of the synthpop genre popular in the 70s and 80s. Filtered through the lens of the 21st century, the sound of this era is reflected in many great modern works. One such example is 'A Real Hero'.

Atmosphere – Greg Laswell: Come Clean (02.23.) /ENG/
In today's episode, I've chosen to focus not on a film, but on a soundtrack of a series, which may seem an odd choice in more ways than one. Neither the song nor the series are among the most popular audiovisual creations, and it might be surprising how powerful they are. It may not be apparent from a single scene, but it supports an incredibly diverse series with its outstanding atmosphere, complemented by a strong and varied build-up to a perfect soundtrack that holds a worthy place in my heart in its own right. I recommend it to anyone who loves melancholic yet intense productions!
