A bright, cutting synth lead with a slightly metallic and glassy character, providing a memorable hook. The sound is assertive, yet smooth enough to blend well within the pop arrangement.

Engineer: John Hudson

Recorded at: Mayfair Studios, London

Signal Chain

Instrument: Roland Juno-106

Recording Notes

  • The lead synth sound was likely recorded directly into the mixing console.
  • Additional EQ and compression would have been applied during the mixing stage to help the synth sit well in the mix.

Recreation Tips

  • Start with a sawtooth or square wave on a Roland Juno-106 or similar analog synthesizer.
  • Add a subtle chorus effect to thicken the sound.
  • Adjust the filter cutoff and resonance to achieve the desired brightness and presence.
  • Use a fast attack and medium decay envelope on the VCA to create a percussive attack.
  • Slightly detune one of the oscillators for added thickness.
