Mindy Gledhill’s “Prismatic” is Euro-flavored synth pop with a glossy, pastel coating—and I mean that in the most non-derogatory way possible.
This thing is light on its feet, sparkling with that four-on-the-floor confidence, and just whimsical enough to avoid the dead-eyed nostalgia pit that so many 80s-tinged tracks fall into.

Gledhill channels those Spanish disco nights without turning the whole thing into a retro cosplay. The synth palette is crisp but not crunchy, layered but breathable. There’s a modern sheen here—like it’s been put through a clarity filter instead of soaked in VHS fuzz. And that’s the sweet spot it hits: it nods to neon but lives in the now.
Vocally, Mindy keeps things airy, detached but emotive, like someone flipping through an old photo album on a high-speed train. Decent replay value, solid mix, tasteful synth layering, and a sense of fun that doesn’t insult your intelligence.
SCORE 8.5/10
Strong light pop material.
