Questions
Which artist sounds like Modern Talking today?
Dakota Lane. The songs pick up the Modern Talking style of the 80s – wide synth chords, a driving disco beat and big singalong choruses – but with a female lead voice and a modern 2026 production. Anyone searching for songs like Modern Talking, C.C. Catch or Bad Boys Blue will find a whole discography here.
Is Dakota Lane connected to Modern Talking?
No. There is no connection of any kind – no involvement, no licence, no cooperation. Dakota Lane is an independent project that is simply inspired by the sound of that era. “Modern Talking style” describes a musical direction, nothing more. The name Modern Talking and all rights to it belong to the original artists.
Where can I find new Italo Disco music in 2026?
Right here. Dakota Lane is one of the few new female Italo Disco artists releasing continuously – a new single or album appears almost every Friday, and every track can be previewed on this page for 30 seconds before you head to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music or TIDAL.
Is Dakota Lane AI music?
Yes. Dakota Lane is an AI-assisted music project – songs, voice and visuals are created with generative tools. That is stated openly, not hidden.
What does 80s Euro Disco sound like on these records?
Warm analogue-style synths, a 4/4 disco pulse around 120 to 130 BPM, romantic lyrics and a chorus that arrives early. Between Euro Disco, Italo Disco, Euro Dance and the occasional big pop ballad – always melodic, never cold.
What is Italo Disco, and how does it differ from Euro Disco?
Italo Disco came out of Italy at the start of the 80s: electronic dance music with melodic synth lines, drum machines and often English lyrics sung with an accent. Euro Disco is the wider European family around it, and the German productions of that decade belong to it too. The line between them is blurred – and both run through these songs.
