Newcomer China Aster (aka Guernsey’s Joshua Moore) is sharing today his eclectic new single “Reason”, a passionate and energetic retro-infused slice of synth pop.
He truly goes full 80s on it, with the song’s catchy melody and upbeat tempo reminiscent of the classics like Enya and Ultravox, mixed with a strong contemporary touch and vision. Moore offers further insight into the track below:
“‘Reason’ is a weird-pop love ballad that becomes a love song about reason itself. The track defies cliches about the irrationality of love and the cold abstraction of logic, celebrating instead a relationship between passion and rationality. I was listening to a lot of Enya and Kirin J Callinan during the writing process, which might explain the synth-compositions and intense vocals here”.
