Must-Listen: The Chorus On Andy Black’s New Single “We Don’t Have To Dance” Is The Best Thing So Far This 2016! [Updated With Music Video!]

andy black we don't have to dance

Andy Black, the leader of rock band Black Veil Brides (a really hardcore rock band), was recently signed by Republic Records and Lava to commence a solo career and OMG at the amazing way it has started!

Yesterday, Friday, March 18th, 25-year-old Andy Black, from Cincinnati, Ohio, premiered his debut solo single titled “We Don’t Have To Dance” online, and at the same time launched the pre-order page for his debut solo album “The Shadow Side”, which will be released on May 6th. Fans loyal to Black Veil Brides, and therefore to Andy Black too, can purchase “We Don’t Have To Dance” individually right now on iTunes or alternatively they can get an instant “free” download of the song if they pre-order “The Shadow Side”.

Oh my GOOOOOOOOD! The chorus of this song is slaying me so hard! Undoubtedly the best chorus I’ve heard so far this 2016! (and it’s pretty incredible because it’s so “simple” - but so perfectly executed!).

Truth is I don’t entirely understand what Andy’s new single is about - but I think it has something to do about a moody message about life - following some life experiences of Andy’s apparently - but honestly I don’t care about it, what’s really important is the chorus of “We Don’t Have To Dance”. Why? Because 1) Although “in theory” I should’t dance to it, it really makes you wanna dance (oh, the fun irony) and DANCE REALLY HARD! - for it has an infectious and energetic pop/rock sound, 2) it’s just amazing to hear Andy holding up his voice real nicely, and powerfully throughout the entire, vocally-demanding chorus, and 3) I totally picture myself just LETTING GO to this chorus in the club like there was no tomorrow (I have already downloaded the song to a USB drive to pass it tonight to my favorite club’s DJ).

The official description of “We Don’t Have To Dance” from Andy’s label’s press release is the following: “The track tempers a devilishly danceable refrain with a theatrical swing, rock ‘n’ roll energy, and uncontainable bombast”. And I totally agree with the “theatrical swing” comment. You can particularly hear this in the verses. I guess this is a signature style of Andy Black - that was already part of him in his Black Veil Brides days. The interesting thing is that watching some Black Veil Brides videos on YouTube, Andy was really badass there, he was all about hardcore rock, and now he has changed his sound to something a bit more commercial - the chorus? Hello!. I really hope his loyal fans doesn’t consider this a “betrayal” - but whatever! If he loses those fans, it’s all okay, he can make new ones - LIKE ME! :).
