The track is infused with punk while driven by punchy drum rhythms, as well as Daft Punk-esque bass, and vocals which call to mind the king of funk himself, Jamiroquai, while also reminding us of T-Pain&#8217;s auto-tune vocalising style. High end production values pull this piece together, which will have you jumping out of your seat and dancing around the room right from the very first note.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8 Apart have had a decade of playing and creating music together, and opened a recording studio in 2015.
