Here’s a great example of using that silky retro tinge masterfully. Diamond Cafe is the brain child of Canadian musician Tristan Thompson. Under the moniker he’s been dropping heart tugging synth pop with nods to synth funk and R&B. “The Way You Used To Love Me” is our first introduction to his sound and we’re hanging on every bit of that synth and keyboard combo. It’s carries a bit of melancholia mixed with melodic romance.
