The first thing I thought of was Whitney Houston - she made some records like this:

(Goddamn, she was fine, in this^ vid!)

This one and "ABC" were probably the blueprint for these kind of songs, no?:

Some other '80s records in the ballpark?:

This one has the same kind of synth-bass and syncopation in the breaks:

Is that the kinda stuff you're lookin' for? confuse

Those are the types of songs, thank you! Especially the Whintey Houston ones.


I have discovered that New Edition had many of these songs:

Popcorn Love

Candy Girl

Should Have Never Told Me

Gotta Have Your Lovin'

Count Me Out

Sweet Thing

All For Love
Cool It Now

My Secret

So basically, you're looking for synthesized mid-80s R&B-to-pop crossover. Be happy, because EVERYONE sounded like this for several years!

Here are two you might like...

Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου
μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ
πρὸς ὀλίγον ἐστὶ τὸ ζῆν
τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ.”

haha kind of

Tenderoni is a good song!
but the songs I posted, though similar, are a bit different. More ''happy'' sounding in a sense. You know what I mean? lol
