Now THIS I can totally get into, being an 80s music fan myself. I disagree with the comment that "it never picks up", because this kept me interested the whole way through. The vocals are absolutely stunning and the way it slowly builds throughout the song makes this something I would want to listen to a lot.
While it has that 80s vibe, it also has a modern synth pop sound as well. Ever hear of VNV Nation? If not, you need to get onto Spotify right now and look them up. They are a modern synth pop sound and you remind me a bit of them.
