“Who’s your friend?” That is the question. It is also one of the repeated lyrics from the colorfully and gayly titled, “I Want to Make Out at the Gay Club”. That is a statement – one filled with, rather, beaming with Pride! “I Want to Make Out at the Gay Club” comes from the hands of NVDES (Josh Ocean Laviolette). Of his music, Ocean asserts, “NO GENRE JUST ENERGY™️ I follow my creativity wherever it takes me…” Right on. NVDES produced this horny little joint. Besides Laviolette, Madi Diaz, Lavid, Oliver Tree, and Sean Van Vleet penned it.

One of the best features of “I Want to Make Out in a Gay Club” is the infectious, looped riff. The record is built around this. It easily gets stuck in your head. The vocals are multifaceted. Sometimes, the vocals are performed more subtly, yet playful and sensual. As the song progresses, more overt vocals join the more restrain vocals, offering contrast and upping the intensity. It should come as no surprise that the lyric most often repeated is the horniest: “I want to make out at the gay club.” Spare on lyrics, other repeated gems include “Right here” and the least seldom heard, “Nothing but dancing and love” which caps things off. Beyond the singing, which is treated more like an instrument, complement ample colorful synths, tastefully layered sounds and effects, and a marvelous anchoring groove. NVDES gives us a heaping dose of fun on “I Want to Make Out at the Gay Club”. It is the perfect catalyst to hit the dance floor… and make out at the gay club, of course !
