Description
Today, the new Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F movie has dropped on Netflix, and in honor of that, Matt and I decided to dive into the iconic theme song "Axel F," written by Harold Faltermeyer. This breakdance-inspired instrumental not only became a Top 5 hit but also defined the sound of the '80s. We explore the artistry behind this unforgettable tune, marvel at the intense talent of composer Harold Faltermeyer, and try to pinpoint the last time an instrumental song topped the charts. Join us as we celebrate this synth masterpiece and its lasting impact on both music and pop culture, just in time for Eddie Murphy's triumphant return as Axel Foley.
