Kavinsky - Reborn (2LP) [Rekord Makers]

Format: 2x12" + Gatefold.

Reborn marks the highly anticipated return of Kavinsky, a decade after his iconic OutRun. On this album, the French producer continues to explore his characteristic synthwave sound, but with a more refined production and a greater influence from disco music, 80s pop, and electro-funk.

The album includes notable collaborations, such as Cameo with Cautious Clay and Puzzle with Brandon Yates, which bring a more melodic and accessible tone. However, Kavinsky does not abandon his cinematic essence, with tracks like Renegade and Zombie that evoke futuristic and nostalgic soundscapes.

While Reborn may not achieve the impact of OutRun, it succeeds in solidifying Kavinsky as one of the big names in retrowave, delivering an immersive album full of hypnotic synthesizers and nocturnal atmospheres.
