Beyoncé is in her oontz-oontz era — an era many of us never truly left.Her new single “Break My Soul” is the house and dance inspired moment that we didn’t know we needed.
With the slightest of help from Drake’s new Honestly, Nevermind album, she is set to bring old school house pop back into the cultural conversation.House music’s roots are pretty explicitly queer and Black, and this new single featuring Black queer icon Big Freedia is reminding the girls of that fact.Names like Crystal Waters, CeCe Peniston, and Robin S.
are serving as the references for this genre in the conversation right now, and for good reason, but that focus seems to have a lot of people discussing house in the past tense.In the spirit of keeping the conversation current — and just giving you some more tracks to dance to — here are 5 recent house and dance songs you just might love…HoneyLuv’s Waters-esque sound on this track is so deeply satisfying in scratching that early 90s house itch.
Miss Luv has only been DJing for a few of years, with no debut album and only a handful of singles out, so her mastery of the genre is even that much more impressive.This song specifically has Doechii hitting her moment as something of an underground It Girl right now, and it’s what she deserves.
