Too Loud To Dance – Stage

Too Loud To Dance’s “Stage” begins with a nostalgic piano section, which is soon accompanied by an electric guitar, contributing to the track’s evocative 1980s mood. The mix produces an attractive setting that’s both vintage and warm. At 0:24, an upbeat groove adds energy to the music, establishing the basis for the vocals, which remind of Bryan Ferry. The voice has a deep, neo-romantic tone, although it may benefit from additional clarity in the mix to better match the track’s dreamlike vibe. The production is loaded with gentle synthwave influences, due to floating synth lines that enhance the arrangement without dominating it. The combination of new wave and synth-pop elements gives “Stage” a sophisticated, cinematic atmosphere. Despite the required vocal improvement in the mix, the track’s attraction resides in its smooth arrangement and complex atmosphere, which make it an enjoyable listen. With neo-romantic and synthwave overtones, “Stage” brings listeners to an experience that feels nostalgic.
