punipunidenki & 80kidz -- Night Session

 

Welcome to the end of another work week. Hopefully, wherever you are, you are about to or are already enjoying some weekend R&R. I can do with a bit more sleep myself.

Although the electro duo 80kidz has been releasing singles and albums up to the present day, it's been a few years since I've put up their name on the byline. I think that the last time they were up there was back in 2018 for their 2010 "Weekend Warrior". Well, this time I get to hear them again for the first time in a long while in collaboration with singer-songwriter punipunidenki(ぷにぷに電機).

In fact, I'm a little late to the game but their short-and-sweet "Night Session" was released a year ago. Written by punipunkidenki and composed by 80kidz, it's a boozy and woozy night out in the big city played against a background of Latin club dance rhythms and some old-style 80s synthesizers. We even get some vocoder scatting in the bridge. Plus, there is also the attractive smoky vocals by the singer herself. Nice of her to put up the short-and-sweet warning against underage drinking at the end. We can't let things get too out of hand.😋
