The music is great

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2018)

This film works in so many levels, but I will stick to the music: Sing Street explores the musical genres of the 80s and 90s and brilliantly combines them together. The band's first song is written in the New Romantics style as a reference to Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet, "Beautiful Sea" is a nod at The Cure (Cosmo even stands and plays guitar like Robert Smith) and "Drive It Like You Stole It" combines the rhythm of Hall and Oates' "Maneater" with Joe Jackson's chords from the "Stepping Out" era. "Brown Shoes" is more like a 90s song with the distorted guitars. Brilliant job of the musical director!
