The Twelve Inch 139 : I Love You (I Do :-)) : Electro/Synth-Pop/Italo - 1983

My weekly Substack writing (https://thetwelveinch.substack.com/p/yello-and-the-swiss-sound-revolution) is devoted to "I Love You", Yello & the emerging electro. But Electro wasn't the only thing happening in 83
This was the era when synthpop was surging in popularity across the UK, with its influence rippling throughout the rest of Europe. Major acts like Depeche Mode, Visage, Duran Duran, and The Human League were at the forefront of the scene.

Meanwhile, in Italy, where disco never truly faded, a new wave of 1980s disco emerged—what we now know as Italo disco. Artists like Scotch, Mike Mareen, and Stargo brought this fresh sound to life (good luck unraveling the meaning behind that Stargo track!).

A perfect deep dive into one of my favorite years in music !
