In the first seconds of the song 'Stranger' by Dutch artist 'Lesse', I am drawn to the rather dark and sad moments in 'Miami Vice (TV series)'. The 80s synthwave vibe is particularly evident in the intro. With the introduction of the vocals, we jump to the present in an instant. The crisp bassline defines the clear sound and massively supports the sound construct.
My only criticism is the generic electric guitar solo including the uninspired fade out at the end of the song. That could be better (especially without guitar)! Nevertheless, a song absolutely worth listening to. This song is part of our Spotify playlist ‘New Synth Pop Songs 2022‘. The playlist is updated continuously.

Lyrics of 'Lesse – Stranger'
Talk to me
Sensed you in my dreams again
I recognized your voice
Talk to me
Distract me from reality
I’d rather hear your voice
Talk to me
Spy my admiration by your skyward invitation
Have mercy, this is no place for me
No rules of engagement, fill me up with stimulation
Wanna see, what you have in mind for me
Pleading you, beam me up and pull me through
Across the stars, a world brand-new
Makes my consciousness go blind
Burning out, take me for another round
Bend the rules, I’m begging you
Let the galaxy run wild
Talk to me
Depending on your presence, dear
It’s all I’m craving now
Talk to me
I know they won’t approve of us
A stranger, is all they’ll ever fear
Spy my admiration by your skyward invitation
Have mercy, this is no place for me
What’s our destination? Fill me up with stimulation
Wanna see, what you have in mind for me
Pleading you, beam me up and pull me through
Across the stars, a world brand-new
Makes my consciousness go blind
Burning out, take me for another round
Bend the rules, I’m begging you
Let the galaxy run wild
Burning out, take me for another round
Bend the rules, I’m begging you
Let the galaxy run wild
Pleading you, beam me up and pull me through
Across the stars, a world brand-new
Makes my consciousness go blind
Burning out, take me for another round
Bend the rules, I’m begging you
Let the galaxy run wild
Pleading you, beam me up and pull me through
Across the stars, a world brand-new
Makes my consciousness go blind
Burning out, take me for another round
Bend the rules, I’m begging you
Let the galaxy run wild
