ARTIST : THE RUDE AWAKENING

TITLE : WILL YOU?

RELEASE DATE : 16th MAY 2023

(HAZEL O'CONNOR'S BIRTHDAY)

The innovative UK synthpop act THE RUDE AWAKENING present their fabulous version of Hazel O'Connor's "Will You".

The original, released in May 1981 was the fourth single from Hazel's debut album and soundtrack to the film Breaking Glass, and has been a particular favourite of The Rude Awakening's Bridget for many years: "This song is so magical, I can't remember ever listening to it without getting goosebumps or tears in my eyes. Hazel is recovering from a 'serious medical event' at the moment. Johnny and I send her love and best wishes, and hope that she likes what we have done with her beautiful song."

The Rude Awakening's version of "Will You?" is available for digital download on 16th May 2023 from iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon, Bandcamp, & all the usual platforms that can be found below. 
The song features Johnny and Bridget on vocals and instrumentation, with special guest Black Marine (B-Movie/Inception in Black) playing piano and cello.
Recorded at and released by AbNormal.
 
Review written for Revival Synth.. Thanks to The Rude Awakening, this Hazel O'Connor classic has been reborn with new life and a fresh passionate energy. It's a testament to the enduring power of music, and a reminder that some things truly do stand the test of time. Every beat and every lyric is dripping with passion and emotion.
I can't help but sing along as memories flood my mind. It's like being transported back in time to when life was simpler and everything seemed possible.
Their rendition is both familiar and fresh, giving us something to hold onto while also inviting us to experience it in a whole new way.
Bravo to The Rude Awakening!

If you're still digesting from Non Stop Electronic Synth Pop Dub EP1 then it's time to head straight back to those headphones and check out the next 4 tracks on Non Stop Electronic Synth Pop Dub EP2.

The DJ and electronic music producer, Rusty Egan, is transporting us back to the 80s with this latest output. It's another nostalgic trip through time as he blends retro electronic beats with modern production techniques. But don't be fooled, these aren't just any old throwback mixes. Rusty has carefully crafted each track with precision and care, ensuring that every beat of the sounds is crisp and defined. 
You'll find yourself lost in his infectious energy and grooving like it's the 80s all over again. When you see names like Boy George, Newmen, Anne Clark, Volker Milch, his son..Oscar Egan, Helen Vine, then you know you're into something special.
In my opinion, a legend from the days of The Blitz who never forgot his grass roots, and to this day he selflessly helps to get young and emerging artists heard as much as he can, and we ALL know how hard that is!
So sit back, relax, and let the beats take you on a journey through time and keep following the links below because there's more to come!!!!!

Congrats to Jamie Jamal & Kiffie who raised just short of £400 for homeless people with their Christmas single 'The Night Before Christmas'.

Please note : There is no chart positions for this selection. They're all number one in my ears ;-)
