The band who consist of Cian Gleeson, Joel Healey and Sonny Hardman shot to fame on the ITV talent show, The Voice. \u2018I Don&#8217;t Know How to Dance&#8217; is the follow up to their previous single \u2018Embrace&#8217; which was released earlier this year.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018I Don&#8217;t Know How to Dance&#8217; is another galvanising Will.i.am produced track. The result is a catchy dose of dance-pop. According to the band, the anecdote behind the song is how they struggled with the choreography whilst on the show. This is referenced in the song with self-deprecating lyrics like &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how to cha cha&#8221; which are almost sung like a chant before leaping into the &#8220;So, help me out!&#8221; pre-chorus.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Will.i.am as a producer has put his stamp on the song. Vocal trickery, a simple looped melody, and playful lyrics make it sound like a British-sounding Black Eyed Peas track. It is a perfect song to kiss goodbye to the summer with. The boys sound edgy on the track, with a vocal performance overflowing with personality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, the guest vocal from singer Jessica Reynoso is indeed a highlight on the track.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for the single shows the band not taking themselves too seriously. A fresh approach in a world of pop perfection, the trio look as though they are, dare I say it, enjoying themselves. NXTGEN are in good hands as the Grammy-winner Will.i.am has officially taken them under his wing. If \u2018I Don&#8217;t Know How To Dance&#8217; has anything to do it, these northern lads are certainly heading for incredible pop heights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;I Don&#8217;t Know How to Dance&#8217; is out now and can be streamed and downloaded <a href=\"https:\/\/ffm.to\/idontknowhowtodance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
