Prepare to take it to the dance floor, folks! DANCE GEMZ ๐Ÿ•บ ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐ŸŽถ is a column that celebrates awesome dance songs from the past and present.ย  The records that grace DANCE GEMZ ๐Ÿ•บ ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐ŸŽถ arenโ€™t merely limited to music explicitly characterized as dance.ย  That means all genres of music โ€“ electronic, pop, rock, disco, etc. โ€“ are welcome as long as the particular song is associated with dance. In the 1st ย edition of DANCE GEMZ ๐Ÿ•บ ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐ŸŽถ (2023), we totally get down with ๐ŸŽ™ Martin Garrix and ๐ŸŽ™ JVKE performing the danceable gem, ๐ŸŽต โ€œHeroโ€.

Martin Garrix & JVKE, โ€œHeroโ€ [๐Ÿ“ท: STMPD RCRDS B.V. / Epic Amsterdam]โ€œCanโ€™t you see youโ€™re not ready? My arms are gettingโ€™ heavy from the weight of the world.โ€ Wow, that is some heavy lifting ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ! ๐ŸŽ™ JVKE continues singing, โ€œItโ€™s up to me and Iโ€™m getting sweaty / Is it too much to hold?โ€ Perhaps, perhaps! Backtracking, an Enigmatic intro (โ€œoohโ€ vocals) sets the tone for ๐ŸŽต โ€œHeroโ€, a collaboration by Dutch dance/electronic producer extraordinaire, ๐ŸŽ™ Martin Garrix (๐Ÿคฉ) and ascending singer/producer, JVKE.ย  โ€œHeroโ€ was released as a single in December 2022. As always, Garrix serves up terrific production wizardry, co-producing with ๐ŸŽ› Jason Suwito, New Haven, and Brooks. The synths and sound effects are ear-catching, while the groove hits hard (when it occurs).

Bitmoji ImageShifting the focus to JVKE, once more, his vocals are gorgeous from the opening tip to the close of the track. ย Some of his best moments include when he dips into falsetto โ€“ utterly sweet! The crowning achievement of โ€œHeroes,โ€ unsurprisingly, is the chorus. Here, JVKE employs more assertiveness and bite, and the production is more dynamic and grander in scheme.ย  You could call the chorus of โ€œHeroโ€ incredibly heroic and perhaps, more importantly, CATCHY AS ALBEIT!

โ€œWoah-oh, I know

Say you want a hero, you donโ€™t

Say you want a savior, pull you off the ground

Then you wanna blame me when youโ€™re fallinโ€™ down

Woah-oh, I know

Donโ€™t wanna be your hero, oh no

Whenโ€™s it gonna sink in that weโ€™re sinkinโ€™ and fallinโ€™ apart?

โ€˜Cause love donโ€™t last in the dark.โ€
