Adaline’s “Nostalgia” immediately strikes me as unique; hints of 1980s po, industrial, trip-hop and dubstep can all be heard here. Nostalgia has a deep and dense instrumentation that provides the perfect counterpoint for Adaline’s vocals. With a dark brooding musical sound acting as the background for a hopeful set of vocals, Nostalgia pops. There is a bit of unity between these two elements in that Adaline’s vocals contribute to the…
