BRANDYN BURNETTE, DWILLY and KAYO GENESIS, “Hands Down”
It’s come straight out of left field, from Monstercat no less, but “Hands Down” is a total winner for dance music lovers and clubs from singer/songwriter Brandyn Burnette, L.A. producer DWilly, and guest hip hop star Kayo Genesis. The song oozes good times and diversity. There is so much going on that is rooted in 80’s soul and early hip hop (with some jazz riffing too) and somehow the trio have pulled it all together into a shiny and sometimes romantic pop sound. Everyone can identify with a song about a crush when opposites might attract. Kayo Genesis’ few verses are key and add an even more positive flavour to the song. “Hands Down” should score well with dance radio and clubs and continue to open doors for Brandyn and his collaborators.
