It is 100% impossible for Liz Primo to release a song that isn't amazing. No, really. Even when she's a feature she has a way of making sure the song is golden. Dark Intensity is no stranger to the music scene (or Liz for that matter), and the two of them have brought together a beautiful spectrum of talent, experience, and fun that is definitely worth checking out. Let's take a quick look at "Dance With Your Heart".
There is something about a Dark Intensity mix that really gets my blood pumping, so hearing that he was taking on this song as the lead bill, I was incredibly excited. Manny Martinez definitely has a way with creating a fun elecro-pop jam, and this is a very evident example. "Dance With Your Heart" is a very layered piece, and depending on what settings you have your speakers on (IE bass and treble levels, volume, etc) you can hear different pieces of the track. Of each of the times I've listened to the song so far, I've heard new things with each play.
Liz is a siren who always manages to pull me back in with each new song. I found myself in love with her vocals as far back as her song "Devil In Me", and I've stuck with it ever since. She is an undeniable vocal talent. I love seeing that after all the love Dark Intensity has show her over the years (he has done remixes of so many of her songs) that she is up to returning the favor by providing vocals to an already show stopping song.
It's the lyrics that are really the only place I have to grip with this one. It really feels like Manny had the song completed and handed it off to someone else for the lyrical content. The lyrics feel shoehorned in at places, leaving a bit more to be desired. While the words have a great message, they often get a big jumbled up and don't seem like they fit with the back track. This is very evident in the rushed lines on the chorus such as the lines "No second chances/No Looking backDontcloseyoureyes" and the awkward off kilter repeating of "Live your life". Something about the syncing and timing of these lines really throw off the chorus for me in an otherwise beautiful track. The verses are all perfection, and feel much more at home in this electronic wonderland.
If you are ready to shake your ass or if you are a die-hard Liz Primo fan like me then get over to iTunes and grab a copy of the song. Also be sure to check out the extended club mix for those of you who don't want the song to end!
