Scenario

Rupert Holmes

Witty, narrative-driven pop that examines the anxieties of the early 90s. Sophisticated storytelling delivered with a smooth, cynical, and polished adult contemporary edge.

It's like a collection of clever short stories set to the smoothest 90s production you've ever heard.

A sophisticated, slightly jaded urban reflection on time, technology, and human connection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sharp lyrical pivot in 'The Eighties Never Happened' where nostalgia curdles into a critique of the present.
The sprawling, cinematic build of 'The Big Ride' which functions as the album's emotional and narrative centerpiece.
The way the synth textures on 'Info Superhighway' attempt to sonically mimic the burgeoning digital age.
