“I smashed my car into a wall / Like the kingdom watch it fall.” Oh my, Sean Dempsey 👀. We listen and we DO judge (don’t believe that trend)! The Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪 musician continues singing, “I bought the store, and cash ran dry / Need a fix or another high.” Oh, snap🫰! “What You Gonna Do With That?” is a brief electro-pop song, but captivating and potent from the get-go. Our handsome Irishmen penned it himself, and he didn’t hold back!

“I lost control and we gon’ crash / Drop the beat and snatch some ass.” Damn, Sean! “What You Gonna Do With That?” is fierce… as fuck, honestly.  Set in a minor key, the production is epic.  From the beginning, the sound of the record hits you right in the chest.  The club vibes are pronounced thanks to aggressive, boisterous, and nasty synths and a badass stomping beat.  Sure, the title asks a question, but given the aggressiveness of the sound, it seems like it’s more rhetorical. Dempsey keeps the same energy as the instrumental with his own energetic, personality-laden vocals. Pitch is unimportant.  Sean goes for chanted, quasi-rapped, and talked vocals. He eats, too! “Call me the writer man / I’m writing fire man / I see a higher man / And it feels so good.” Preach… well, this isn’t a religious cut…  We do get questions asked, lyrically.  “What you wanna do / What you wanna be / These are the questions you answer to me,” he sings, and continues, “What you wanna see / What you wanna breathe / What you gon’ / What you gon’ / What you gonna do with that.” Ooh-wee, it’s getting sooo hawt in hurrr! Maybe it’s the beauty of the man on the track… 🥵 😍 🤩. Released in the summer of 2025, “What You Gonna Do With That?” is the sexy, striking summery hit that endures well beyond the summer.
