Joel Corry, Hey DJ [📷: Warner Music UK Limited]English DJ Joel Corry delivers a bop in “Hey DJ” that is sure to lift you up and make your body move and groove.  

“Hey, DJ / I don’t wanna hear my heart breakin’ / My feelings are loud enough / Play me somethin’ to lift me up and save me.” Ooh wee! There is no way you listen to 🎵 “Hey DJ” and don’t feel lifted! Better yet, there is no way you hear that kick a$$ beat don’t move your body! “Hey DJ” arrives as the third track from 💿 Another Friday Night, the 2023 debut album by English DJ, 🎙 Joel Corry. Corry absolutely brings da heat! He’s also muy caliente, judging by some of his IG photos 😍 😉 – just an observation! Anyways, focusing on the music, he produced this brief but fun joint alongside 🎛️ Neave Applebaum and Punctual.  The sounds are exuberant, jubilant, and L-I-T 🔥! The synths are rhythmic and sharp, piercing right through your chest.

Assertive and ripe, the vocals are drenched in effects – idiomatic of an energetic, dance joint.  The songwriting, as far as the lyrics, isn’t game changing, but it is memorable, particularly the chorus.  There is a verse too, which explains why the vocalist needs a lift courtesy of the DJ.  Of course, Joel Corry obliges in sensational fashion. 🎵 “Hey DJ” is a bop, PERIOD!
