There’s a reason HUGEL named his imprint Make The Girls Dance Records. “Loosen Up” is the latest example.
Simmering at the intersection of R&B and Afro House, the collaboration sources sleek, persuasive vocals from Preston Harris, whose cadence complements the sexy shuffle of the song, produced alongside Dawty. Steadied by a reggaeton beat with hip-shaking appeal, “Loosen Up” feels like a more entreating but no less sweet cousin to HUGEL’s viral, chart-topping 2024 single “I Adore You.” Listen below.
“I am so excited to release this,” says HUGEL, “…it’s one that gets everyone singing and dancing every time it gets played. The mix between R&B and Afro House came together so naturally, songs like this are the reason I started Make The Girls Dance Records.”
The rhythmic delight is out now via Make The Girls Dance/Astralwerks. Buy it on Beatport.
