Harry styles – paradise
It sounds like music for yesteryears, problem is i can’t place it.. specially the music everytime lyrics reaches the “paradise” part..
it gives me the feel of .. i don’t know.. tom cruise and highway to dangerzone scene.. on his bike
You are into music.. only you can help me.. does the music sound familiar? is it a particular genre/ era/ there is sthg very characteristic about it
Hi, @alasecond. Good to hear from you. I feel honored that you’d request my music nerdery. Alas, I’m not up on current music, aside from whatever I hear in Kdramas, and am stuck in the 50s-80s. I’ll give it my best shot.
The song in question is entitled “Adore You” from Harry Styles’s Fine Line album released in December 2019. This is the one you mean, right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GAABMFaVxQ
The music of the first verse, at the very beginning of the track, sounds like 70s rock, funk, R&B, or disco. It could even be a power ballad, and makes me think of Foreigner’s “I Want To Know What Love Is.” It has a nice danceable groove. Love that bass line. For some reason, I’m also reminded of this piece:

for comments on musical influences that include Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac, and Harry Nilsson. The latter’s 1971 hit “Without You” is a heartbreakingly beautiful power ballad by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of Badfinger that featured overdubbed close harmonies. Nilsson is the dude who put de lime in de “Coconut.” 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dnUv3DUP4E
I hope this helps you in your quest. 😉

The synthesizers and electronic processing bring to mind another earworm by Stevie Wonder…
“I Just Called To Say I Love You” (THE WOMAN IN RED Soundtrack, 1984)

… and this ground-breaking latter-day disco piece whose “Cher effect” was achieved with Auto-Tune:
