See How It Feels To Stare Into My Light

Etienne de Crécy featuring Tom Burke “Sunset”

A while back, maybe ten years ago, I came to realize that my favorite dance music wasn’t 100% danceable. I mean, yes, you ~can~ dance to it, but it’s not the sort of blunt force beats that will always slay at actual dance clubs. The thing I love is a sort of highly dynamic, super-charged pop music that signals a very sleek and confident sexuality. I’m looking for songs that have all the melody of pop, but pushed to a point where the very sound of the music forces an immediate physical response. This track from Etienne de Crécy’s Super Discount 3 is a fine example of this – it’s an incredibly smooth song, and about as chill as a song can be while also being quite hyperactive. There’s a hint of doubt in the vocal, but the overall sound is so suave and certain. It’s aspirational pop music.
