Song Inspiration

During the deciding process of choosing our song, we made it clear that we all wanted a fast pace, up tempo pop song. After perusing through different mini genres within this genre of fast pop, we decided that we wanted a song with 1970s/80s style pop.
Below are some tracks which we liked the sound of before choosing NAO's Nostalgia.




Night Fever by the Bee Gees is a classic within the realms of 1970s pop. This song has a similar beat to Nostalgia, noticeable by the fast beats and "funky" sounding instruments used.

 
Next is Michael Jackson's Beat It. This song is from the 1980s pop movement which additionally has a similar beat and tempo to nostalgia. NAO also has a similar sounding voice to Michael Jackson's - due to both being sopranos and singing in a higher register.

Once listening to these songs, we decided to use NAO's Nostalgia ultimately. This song had attributes of 70/80s pop which is what we were aiming for in our song.


Here is the audio to the song we chose for the final music video
