Today we are looking at six pieces of music. (We’re also seeing videos, but the award is for the music, not the video. Ideally, to evaluate the music, you might want to shut your eyes, so you’re not influenced by the video.) I had not heard any of these songs before this week.

First up, Break My Soul, performed by Beyoncé. Beyoncé, Terius “The-Dream” Gesteelde-Diamnat, Jens Christian Isaksen & Christopher “Tricky” Stewart, producers; Stuart White, mixer.

The consistent beat in Break My Soul makes me want to dance. It’s a bit repetitive, though.

Next, Rosewood, performed by Bonobo. Simon Green, producer and mixer.

A bit monotonous. It falls into a groove and stays there.

Don’t Forget My Love, performed by Diplo & Miguel. Diplo & Maximilian Jaeger, producers; Luca Pretolesi, mixer. Don’t watch the video.

Very repetitive.

I’m Good (Blue), performed by David Guetta & Bebe Rexha. David Guetta & Timofey Reznikov, producers and mixers.

Yeah, it’s danceable, but hearing f*cking in the lyrics (used as an adjective) distracted me every single time.

Intimidated, performed by KAYTRANADA featuring H.E.R. H.E.R. & KAYTRANADA, producers; KAYTRANADA, mixer. I’m giving you the lyrics video, because I couldn’t understand the words without it.

Meh.

On My Knees, performed by RUFUS DU SOL. Jason Evigan & RUFUS DU SOL, producers; Cassian Stewart-Kasimba, mixer.

This is the most electronic of the group. Very repetitive.

Of all of these, I like Beyoncé’s Break My Soul the best. In my opinion, it’s a successful dance record.

Now it’s your turn. Would you choose a different song for best dance/electronic recording? Which one? And why? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
