For this week's Synthwave 80s Sundays, let's dive into "Blue Monday" by New Order, a seminal track that has become a cornerstone of synthpop and electronic music. Released in 1983, "Blue Monday" features a pulsating rhythm, hypnotic synth lines, and a driving bass that exemplify the era's innovative use of electronic instruments. The song's futuristic sound and danceable beats made it an instant hit in clubs worldwide and it remains the best-selling 12-inch single of all time. Its influence on the synthwave genre is undeniable, continuing to inspire artists and DJs to this day.
