Won’t Stop - Elamar (Pop) This record tricks you in the best way. In Elamar’s vibey “Won’t Stop”, the top of the track gives us quite the switchup by starting with a broody miasma of synths and a driving piano progression before Elamar’s reedy baritone cuts in, preparing the listener for a heartfelt ballad. But that gets pushed aside quickly in favor of a catchy, bass-driven funk vibe with punchy, Bruno Mars-esque vocals. Funk, motown and disco influences abound, the song feels fresh and timely, falling in step nicely beside the recent Dua Lipa offerings. The vocal is strong here, sitting front and center in the production, leading listeners to the dance floor like the pied piper. We dare you to not two-step to this one.
Best Lyric: “I’ll take my chances, show you love, cuz I’m a believer.”
