(April 21, 2021) If you’re old enough to remember Saturday morning cartoons, 90s R&B and actually speaking on your cell rather than sending all days texts, then you probably remember organic relationships: meeting, connecting, and then deciding whether to pursue it or keep it moving. Some find the entire ordeal overwhelming, but some folks, like Danny B. Live, feel invigorated, reveling in the adrenaline rush and uncertainty as he runs the course of the relationship in his latest single, “Track Meet.”
Describing the temptation and the thrill of the chase over a pulsating, vintage groove, Danny’s delivery combines both modern and nostalgic vibes, fringed with air-tight harmonies as he scrambles for first place with his intended, yet enjoying the thrill of the outcome being unknown: “I’m putting one foot in front of the other Baby, no time for pacing, I gotta keep chasing/ knees getting weak and I can barely feel my fingers, cuz’ I’m in the lead.”
One listen to his velvety tenor will explain why his vocals have taken his sound across the nation and earned a burgeoning audience: Note 2 Self, his second full-length release, should only uncover more gems and widen his musical reach as its first single, “Track Meet,” enters heavy rotation in your playlist, settles into your ears and has you humming along, reminiscing — or contemplating — that last guy or lady who put you through the paces, meeting you at the finish line…or leaving you in the dust.
