With Dana McKeon bringing an etherealness to the track with her airy, sweet vocals, &#8216;Tug Of War&#8217; is a seamless blend of music and lyrics; Joe&#8217;s production talents of course pulling everything together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Tug Of War&#8217; matches the song&#8217;s upbeat tones note for note, with the action taking place indoors in the gym, as well as outside at Santa Monica&#8217;s world-famous Muscle Beach. Joe and Dana are dressed for action in their workout gear, and are pumping hard. When the beat drops, the gym turns into a dance club, with Joe at the desks, and the athletes showing off their best moves &#8211; dance moves this time rather than power lifting or cardio. Keeping to the name of the song, there&#8217;s even a &#8216;Tug of War&#8217; right on the mat between the guys and the girls, and we&#8217;ll leave it up to you to watch the video and find out who wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch the clip for &#8216;Tug Of War&#8217; below, and you can find out more about Joe Bermudez and his music online on his official\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.joebermudez.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joebermudezofficial\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/joebermudez\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joebermudezofficial\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/joebermudezofficial\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_20274\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m1McsTrnDUo?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Joe Bermudez &amp; Dana McKeon - Tug Of War (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/m1McsTrnDUo\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We wrote about Joe Bermudez in September, with his single, &#8216;Lose My Number&#8217;, featuring Louise Carver, and its hilarious music video.
