I have a strong preference for albums having a single vocalist, if they have vocals at all. While the album is heavily inspired by 80s pop, it’s also instrumental, and I personally prefer it this way. It’s quite varied, yet unified by a singular retro aesthetic. There’s also several strands of 80s soundtrack music within this album’s DNA, bits and pieces from the more curious synth offerings of the 80s and maybe even a tiny touch of Freestyle and early hip-hop beats. We are treated to a mix of catchy leads and synth hits that borrows from the best of 80s pop. While Runaway Droid got his musical ventures started as a guitarist, the album is save for a few exceptions, extremely synth driven. Dangerous on the other hand is a joy to listen to, both on the level of individual pieces and as a whole. While Runaway Droid had in the past produced many good individual tracks, I found his albums a bit too all over the place stylistically to really enjoy as albums. I appreciate the choice to release a very coherent album that draws from a single pool of inspirations. It’s dangerous the same way as Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone is a danger zone, so not really, but it’s all good, mostly rather light, extremely 80s fun. On his newest album Dangerous Runaway Droid offers a thematically, sonically cohesive slice of decidedly 80s inspired music. Over the course of the three past years he has released numerous singles and 6 albums, which include a great number of collaborations and various guest vocalists. From 2018 onwards, the extremely prolific artist has been working with a diverse range of styles within the genre, from cyberpunk-influenced pieces to 80s rock throwbacks and beyond. RUNAWAY DROID is a Synthwave artist from Helsinki, Finland.
