There is no better way to get a read on someone than watching them bust out their finest moves when that perfect song comes on. Whether they’re a classically trained dancer or the second coming of Elaine Benes, if they’re shifting with a smile on their face and conviction in their step you know you’ve come across one of the good ones.

Embracing that confident resolve on her latest single “Dance Like I Want To,” Los Angeles’ Dree Mon connects sound and sense for a true sonic spark. Funky riffs and silky smooth synths form the invigorating rhythms, while Dree’s soul-tuned vocals create an aura of earnest encouragement. The self-assured soloists says of the song:

[It’s about] dropping that facade of having to be cool and embracing ones’ own individualism

Words we can all groove by!
