The Florida artist is sure to light dance floors and vibe playlists up with this infectious new single.

Florida-based artist Q is back with a new dance-infused track, "LUV (I KNOW I WANT THIS FOR REAL)." Moreover, the track follows earlier soulful singles, such as the track "Stereo Driver" from September of 2022. While Q's an up-and-coming talent, his raw skill and creativity brightens up even older sounds.

Furthermore, this track has an incredibly infectious '80s vibe to it, from the passionate vocals to the static-infused drums. Also, the down-pitched vocals that come in at certain points of the song give it a lot of character. Following previous singles, which saw him stray into sultry R&B and soul, it seems Q has a vintage skillset.

Still, the track's production quality is top-tier, so the dated production feels intentionally charming, not sloppily arranged. What's more is that the music video is just Q dancing, and what else is better to motivate you to get up?

Moreover, this track just has a really fun and danceable atmosphere. Even with repeat listens, you can continually find new details and melodic phrases to latch onto. Furthermore, it's a testament to Q's dynamism and charisma as a vocalist and instrumentalist.

Also, the track features some structural and dynamic changes, like bringing out the drums and slightly changing the song's swing. Overall, these elements combine to make a highly enjoyable experience that should have fans foaming at the mouth for a full-length project soon.

Quotable Lyrics

I think I found it, I can't seem to stop it (I know I want this for real)
The love is goin' crazy (I'm sick and tired of fallin' of in love), I think I need to stop it, wait
I think I found it, I can't seem to stop it (That love is distant for real)
The love is goin' crazy, I think I need to stop it, wait
