Bossa Nova Hotel

Michael Sembello

High-tension 1980s synth-pop defined by frantic BPMs and digital precision. A neon-lit collision of cinematic energy and jittery, cybernetic grooves.

September 25, 1983 · Oasis Records (4)

Relentless, high-tension energy that feels like a neon-lit sprint through a digital city.
