Poptastic Confessions!: Slow Train by OMD

Dear Poptastic Readers,

The English duo Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (aka OMD) are back with a new song called "Slow Train." They had a string of hits in the UK during the 80s and early 90s. They had a few minor hits in the US, but one big one called "If You Leave", which was on the Pretty In Pink Soundtrack in 1986.

"Slow Train" is a very modern dark electro number and we are loving it. This sounds very different to the OMD that we remember, but we are loving it. It is reminding of us of the glorious electroclash genre from the early 2000s, but this does not sound dated. The music video is visually stunning. We've added it to our 2023 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.

"Slow Train" was written by Andy McCluskey and Katrina Kanepe. It was produced by OMD. It is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today! We've added it to our 2023 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify.
