Some tracks announce themselves. This one just takes your hand.Carosone has built something genuinely warm here. Duckett’s BNOrganDonor source material runs through the entire track like candlelight — present, unobtrusive, doing quiet work. The drum programming has real swing to it, and that bass line under the guitar solo earns every compliment Carosone gives it. Simone’s vocal is the emotional center — a little Sade, a little late-night jazz bar. She doesn’t oversell the lyric, which is exactly right. The scenario is vivid: a crowded club, spilled beer, noise everywhere — and in the middle of all of it, one simple decisive choice. I will dance with you and you only. A Valentine’s sentiment that earns its weight because it arrives through chaos rather than in spite of it. Lush, chill, deeply listenable. A standout entry.
