SacrificeThe Weeknd

Just listening to that ’80s-style synth-pop and disco sound lifts your mood and makes you want to start dancing, doesn’t it? It’s also become something of a modern trend, and when it comes to artists who’ve skillfully woven those elements into their own music, The Weeknd is the standout.

Celebrated as a leading figure in so-called alternative R&B, in recent years he’s presented a sound that updates those ’80s elements for the 2020s, achieving major success along with a cohesive, conceptual aesthetic.

From his January 2022 album Dawn FM, let’s highlight the undeniable electro-funk classic Sacrifice, with its uptempo beat and irresistibly catchy melody.

Sampling Alicia Myers’s oft-quoted 1981 track I Want to Thank You, and featuring melody lines that pay homage to Michael Jackson, it’s a killer tune in every sense.

Why not put this song on and head out for a spirited drive?
