Wan

Little is known about the artist Wan, but his debut album Sugarmilk is a mixed bag of synth goodies, displaying a range of production talent and artistry. Take the track "Milk" for example. What begins as a synth funk journey with ocean sounds in the background, soon becomes the stage for a guitar solo full of 80s magic. It's a dreamy journey that brings to mind the chillest vibes of vintage Japanese pop.

The love for Japanese culture doesn't stop there either. One can envision epic Tokyo arcade battles on the instrumental track "Akira". And the track that follows the aforementioned "Milk", which happens to be called "Princess" (Peach reference?), masterfully conveys the more romantic sides of Vaporwave. If you love contemporary 80s r&b, this is a go-to track on Sugarmilk. It has a similar vibe to sweet talker anthems like Robbie M's "Just One Kiss" or the infamous "Cache Vocal".

His unique fusion of 80s nostalgia and modern production creates an immersive auditory experience that transforms the mundane into the extraordinary.
