Florida producer and singer Millionyoung is channeling the tropical, late-night lovemaking of Miami Beach except without the glamor that is normally associated with such an experience. Using synth-based ambiance, sexed-up guitar and disco rhythms, Millionyoung makes threadbare-thin pop with a longing for 1980s Miami Vice-style television shows and sappy love songs. Prince's influence is all over Millionyoung's music to be sure. But whereas Prince is actually making love on a late-night Miami Beach, Millionyoung is caught in a riptide of breathy vocal timidity and indie pop preciousness.
