The five track album is incredibly catchy and will have you tapping your feet from the very first note. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyrical complexity and heartfelt emotions are the first impression one gets when listening to &#8216;Dance To Pop&#8217;. Opening track, &#8216;Thinking About You Girl&#8217; sounds like poetry as Armin pours out his heart about the love of his life. Set to a classic pop instrumental, it draws you in immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second track, &#8216;Woman Of My Dreams&#8217;, speaks of the infatuation he had with a particular woman, and serves as an excellent showcase for his clear ear for catchy pop melodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Armin was inspired by the relationships he saw around him, as well as his own, and put all that into the album, with the help of a good friend. Piano, guitar, and marimba feature on the instrumentals of the album, and Armin is truly skilled at recognising hooks that will pull in the listener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a nostalgic quality to Armin&#8217;s album, and the listener will have no problem relating to his songs. &#8216;Wink An Eye&#8217; is reminiscent of the Carly-Rae Jepsen song, &#8216;Call Me Maybe&#8217; but otherwise we are most reminded of Chesney Hawkes for Armin&#8217;s style. Meanwhile, track 4, &#8216;Glittery Eyes&#8217; suggests Ed Sheeran&#8217;s song, &#8216;Shape Of You&#8217;. There is certainly something for everyone in &#8216;Dance To Pop&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Dance To Pop&#8217; is out now and can be streamed and downloaded <a href=\"https:\/\/ditto.fm\/dance-to-pop-armin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find out more about Armin and his music online on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Arminhorzyk\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/armin_horzyk\/?igshid=ZDdkNTZiNTM%3D\">Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/4de2DmJh4aTZ8bc0WBhH7y?si=XmtG_OjhS2iG3SZOv-g9Bw\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a>, and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/gb\/artist\/armin-horzyk\/1625106221\" target=\"_blank\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based in London, Polish pop artist Armin has released his new album, &#8216;Dance To Pop&#8217;.
