Freshwave (or Retro R&B) is small style of Synthwave that focuses on the larger urban style of 80's Pop and R&B radio stations. That music included Hip-Hop, Old School Electro, Synthfunk, Boogie, and Freestyle blasted from boomboxes in major cities. Only a handful of artists have made albums that have taken this diverse direction and they represent a key part of the past that has been otherwise ignored in the modern Synthwave scene.
