Istanbul

Reelased 29th September 2014

Jackil’s single Istanbul brings an unashamedly 1980s vibe that I am just in love with. There is everything you could possibly want in an electronic pop song in this track; vocals that catch your attention – especially with that amazing high range, giving it a very MJ feel. The bass is so dominant it keeps the groove constant and funky (sorry but there really isn’t any other way to describe it in this track and there’s something to clap or click along to. We all love a good clap along right?!

Istanbul brings together a collection of sounds so upbeat that you can’t but help feel like wanting to thrown on some leg warmers and a sweatband and dance around. When you see the video that has been made to go with this you’ll either feel really young and like you missed out or you’ll just feel really old and revel in the fact you’ve been there and done it already. Either way you’ll probably feel a little bit of excitement rise up from your toes as the beat catches up with you. This isn’t a new take on 80s, it is just 80s.
