When people say an 80’s sound what do they mean exactly? There were a lot of different types of music successful in the 80’s, but generally when I hear the words 80s music I think of synth pop like Human League, Howard Jones, Flock of Seagulls etc. Madonna never had much in common with that kind of music, so I can’t see her pulling that off. I think doing an 80s sound would be way too predictable since she was so successful in the 80’s. To me doing a nostalgic sound doesn’t work if you were old enough to do it the first time.
She probably would never do it, but I have always wanted her to do a Beatles like 60s psychedelic pop sound, sort of like Beautiful Stranger or maybe I’m a Sinner.
