Summary:
"Electric Light Orchestra" evokes Jeff Lynne–style orchestral pop-rock: bright major key, tight vocal harmonies, lush string arrangements layered over piano and rhythmic electric guitar, warm analog synth pads, punchy rock drums and driving bass. Aim for a mid-tempo (around 110–120 BPM) 4/4 groove, clear verse/chorus hooks, sweeping string countermelodies, and a brief orchestral or synth instrumental break/bridge to heighten the cinematic feel. Use clean, slightly compressed production with prominent midrange and glossy reverb to capture the classic ELO aesthetic.
