Comment:
Desired is a beloved artist from Yekaterinburg, Russia whose as you
can see has a solid follow-up at Bandcamp, and Lastfm. Undoubtedly
Lovestory is a cornerstone of his success where different
styles are synthesised either into new ones or revamped into modern
ones. More profoundly, he employs much from the Japan scene,
especially such sort of music which in turn is strongly influenced by
Western pop music, such styles as shibuya-kei, and more generic
J-pop. Catchy hooks through bubbling melodies and blissful harmonies
and gentle yet compelling funky rhythms and some witty dialogues
create a coherent upbeat release. It reminds me of a little bit of a
shiny vibe which can be found from the end-70s and beginning-80s
Soviet Union-era which was neither pathetic nor embarrassing like
most of popular music which had come from the devastating political
and cultural monster. The glittering 9-track outing is a part within
the discography of Business Casual.
