One of these days you're just going to have to go full on Pat Finnerty on a song or two. This one definitely needs to be torn down. I can't question the musicianship, but everything is so disjointed--there's no flow--no rhyme or reason, just a lot of random stuff thrown together with no thought to consistency. In short, no matter how good it could have been, it just sucked. Shock effect with a complete lack of cohesion. Not impressed.
If you haven't read the lyrics it's actually really good. Some parts are hard to hear in the style and getting all of the lyrics it paints the picture perfectly.
I think Kim Dracula is exciting at a time like this. There's a lot of potential, and with the few songs like Make Me Famous, Drown and their feature on a rapper called SosMula's song to a recent teaser, there should be much to look forward to.
I feel your reaction is the most realistic that I've seen, truthfully the most humane. I can't keep my eyes off of Kim Drac, yet I understand how completely bonkers and intense Kim's music is although I plead for more. Your humor and slight disgust embodies the reality of Kim's music and why we're all so enamored. Anyway, this is the first video I've seen from you and you're amazing, keep it up.
Love how you just a convo with us and it feels so normal, so reminiscent of how we communicated back in the nineties/early onesies, when everything and everyone was willing to slow down and just... Talk. Watching you is therapeutic, really.
6:02 "well that was unexpected" from the guy whose video features him buck naked and drying himself off with a huge, ambiguous, furry beast and later fighting a giant crab. Ha! Love you Justin.
Ambiguous furry beasts must deffinetly be more acknowledged in this hectic world of ours....and if rockstars aren't saving humanity from giant space crabs who will??
I was merrily watching in wonder & awe. Enjoying the variation in genres. The only trouble was at one point I didn’t realise it had cut to an UA-cam ad break & I was watching a William Hill advert….
I love to watch these solely for your humour and reaction and some times I discover some fabulous new bands through it, maybe not today…. Wembley Rocked!! You were all amazing ❤❤
Thank you for such an amazing show at Wembley last night. It's been a while since I last saw you guys and it was great to see you all at the top of your game, with such energy and flair. Also, thanks for introducing me to Black Stone Cherry. Brilliant stuff!
Aww. Awfully cute with Softy fretting about the guitar. He absolutely killed it on stage btw😄 Just wanted to say that the gig was immense. We hopped over from Dublin & had an incredible time. Thanks for that & hope you all had an awesome night too.
I have never felt older than turning off that reaction 30 seconds in and knowing I will forever have nightmares about what I saw. _Clockwork Orange_ all over again (that I saw 5 decades ago and still have horror-dreams about). _heavy sigh_
Saw you last night at Wembley. Some bands get up, play and share their music. You guys get up and create a completely mesmerising performance as entertainers. Phenomenal show. Gutted I wasn’t able to grab a sock. Love you all.
Hey Justin, one for comments day if you don't mind. It really struck me when you referred to Easter is Cancelled as being a divorce album for you. I wondered how it feels to perform those songs and whether they evoke difficult memories (which would definitely be at odds with your high energy performances) or once written and performed over time do they take on new associations? Would you consider your song writing a necessary catharsis to get you through tough times?
Totally unrelated, but you guys were great in Leeds, and I'm really digging Frankie's Britney mic - I don't think many can pull it off quite as well as he could.
I always marvel at how effortlessly cool Frankie is, just casually sauntering around the stage looking like he’s just been teleported there from a funky ‘70’s disco and still managing to rock the sh*t out of the place! Gotta love the cowbell king! 😂🤘🥰
You looked so sad there for a minute at the conclusion of the video. It makes me want to hug you. I watch your videos when I'm bummed out, and you make me smile. Thank you! I hope you've smiled a lot in the intervening month between your posting and my comment.
2 things I actually like about this song/video: The fact that it seems fashionable again that male pop stars have long hair, and the bits of System Of A Down influence I can hear here and there. But that's about it ;-)
Incredible audio production. I wonder if they can maintain the tight and varied output live. The visuals leave me cold. Especially considering the scene of Australia’s largest mass shooting occurred in Tasmania, this outfit’s home state - in our lifetime. Controversial, indeed.
This is as much a movie as it is a song and Kim is as much an actor as he is a musician and he's a hell of a museo! The boy's a genius, it's that simple! Pay attention.
so, i saw you live once again last night at wembley and have come to some conculsions about my own band from watching yours, were missing cat suits, major pyros, and most importantly...... a Keytar! thank you for such an awesome night of incredible music and musicianship!
One for comments day. Dear Justin, we are the same age and when I was at school, me and a mate started a 'band'... We were listening to a lot of Nuclear Assault, DRI, SoD, Kreator and Death at the time. Our first song was called Monkey Lab. The lyrics consisted of 'monkey lab' being barked repeatedly. Do you remember the first song you wrote (and did it have more than two words in the lyrics)? Love the channel and was very pleased to see you giving The Sisters a shout-out a few weeks back!
We saw you in Manchester on Thursday night. Absolutely amazing stuff. The tickets were a Xmas present to my husband. We made the 330 mile journey from Cornwall to Manchester just to see you! Really epic show! 10/10 recommend
I would rate it an 11, so it's even more impressive how everything fits together. I had the same reaction you had when watching this. The sax cracked me up too. hahahaha I love it!
My wardrobe suddenly sprung open while I was sat at the other end of the room (it has never done this before) as I was watching this and now I feel a bit frightened
AC/DC did this back in the 70's. The music video for 'if you want blood you got it' Bon Scott launches a SG straight through Angus's torso. In the Jailbreak video I'm sure someone gets shot in the back
kim is doing what marilyn manson did but on steroids, with that put aside his vocal range and style portfolio is amazing and he is very creative. the fact that no matter if you like him or not you end up talking about the guy shows that he has what it takes to go big.
Hi Justin, I just watched a 20 year old movie where 5 teens work their way across Canada ending up in my hometown of St. John’s, Newfoundland! Just when they get to their destination I hear “Growing On Me” by The Darkness!! I was thrilled!!!
I found Kim Dracula thru a song he did with one my favorite singers.. Jonathan Davis from Korn..love him! Been listening daily..also gotta listen to "Korn" - Woodstock 1999 performance regularly!
I believe in freedom of expression anyone’s allowed to create any sounds and images they want to create. At the same time, everybody has the freedom to have their own opinion about it. 🤷♂️
Music is subjective… I never say anything “sucks” or is “bad”…. I just say it’s not my cup of tea or it doesn’t move me because it doesn’t….. it may move others but not me…..
@@Bernz66 music isn’t subjective.. see there’s the dynamic part of describing music(tempo, pitch, time signature, level, etc) and then there’s the other 95% of describing it, and it’s the adjectives describing our opinions and emotions about the music that are subjective, not the music itself. 😜I agree, I feel the same way, and I think most people do. But one thing is, I’ll totally say something sucks or is bad given the place, time and who I’m talking to. UA-cam aren’t exactly the best place for that…😂😂 I think people need to be able to say what they feel and a lot of people need to learn how to recognize when something is someone’s opinion and nothing more.
Its so violent 😰 but the music part is awesome, but I got distracted by the random bit videos all joint in a very intermittent way like tuning on and off the lights, so fast. Shocking, I may need an aspirin after this 😂❤ love uuuuu
Props to the video artist. They have some nice lenses. This kid clearly has some kind of talent for wielding a bunch of modern-ish styles in quick succession, but everything he's going for is super contrived. It's like MCR, then it's like Manson, then it's like trap, then a Mr Bungle muzak breakdown, then a Panic!-ish chorus. He needs to cultivate his own sound. I also can't help but feel he's manifesting the very thing he's trying to satirize - modern youth's desperation for the internet to "make them famous". Speculation, perhaps? Love the show!
I had the same reaction to the video as Justin. I enjoyed the talent in it all but I also felt like I needed a shower after watching it or at least someone to hold me and tell me it'll be okay.
This is really addressing the fucked up mentality of the American psyche. Must keep our guns! No matter who gets hurt and killed. Also, can we milk this for some fame???
Murdering a child in the video..It’s just f’n evil man. You’re a dad and a rock star just call it what it is. Permission to Land one of the best rock albums ever for whats its worth- It saved Rock n Roll
Hi justin I'm a long time Darkness fan .but what I want to say that your song Last of our kind is totally brilliant. People need to go and check that song and video clip out . The album is also amazing. I've loved you guys from the beginning you made me laugh so much .💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
Reminds me a very, very, very tiny bit of Mr Bungle, as in blending different styles - however, unlike Mr Bungle, it doesn’t quite gel so well. Never mind. Each to their own. I’m sure lots of people enjoy it. Obviously talented, but not quite my thing.
I think I'm just getting old or something ... Interview With the Vampire was brilliant and a completely fresh take on the genre that turned it upside down (didn't just follow the simple old psychopathic, thin versions of such plots up to that film.) And then every man made a vampire movie. And then my dog also made one. And then every man's dog, and even some women, made vampire movies as well. And you could buy vampire burgers at Mc Donalds for the kids, I think. I might have given one to my dog. He wasn't fussy. And vampire teabags became all the rage. Just tie a string to a used tampon, and there you go. Hang on, I think that was schoolgirl panties they started selling at vending machines somewhere. Sorry, my ... hyuk hyuk ... Vlad. (Caca joke, oui. Mais il fittez cette piece. Comme meinen mauvais franglais ici.) I forgot what I was going to say. Good. It was shite anyway. Must have been, otherwise I'd have remembered it?
All the people saying to violent are probably the same people who really enjoyed the song pumped up kicks lol. The song is meant to bring attention to these mass shooting nuts who do it for attention hense the "Make Me Famous" hes talking shit about these people.
Kindracula is the title of an old Deftones song. Justin you are way too nice, you don’t have to be afraid to say you don’t like something. I like all sorts of weird and crazy things but this is completely off putting and not something I ever want to do with and I think that’s pretty much how most people feel. You don’t have to try to be so cool about everything, be real.
Justin is real in every sense. I commented, yesterday, on his being real, in a congratulatory and grateful fashion, regarding his Friday 3 February 2023 video.
He talked about the music in approximately three sentences. I think that sums up this artist. Shock value, shock value and shock value... and little more. Not saying there is anything wrong with that. The oldest trick in the book. Another Marilyn Manson. I just feel that the music should do the talking. I guess, I'm getting old.
After Tom Verlaine’s passing, maybe you could do a video on Television’s Marquee Moon .. ? Would be really interesting, especially all these amazing solo’s, riffs.
Capitol records signed Bloodrock, remember them?(genre/band) in 1970, and you’ll recall their song “D.O.A” - just thinking about labels and what they have to offer.
Come to Derbyshire and experience the joy of sniffing the air as you go past the Swizzles factory in New Millls and working out which sweets are being made. Drumsticks and Refreshers are especially distinctive 😋
This artist is Australian! Who are they to be making a video about everyday American life? I can look out my window and see this shit! On the plus side, we may have just seen the smashing fashion innovation of a flannel shirt and eyeliner. Who's the real innovator here!
the song and video are a statement on the society we live in and how everyone has gotten so used to the messed up things that happen anymore, it brings attention to how most people just dont care anymore until someone tries to talk about it then just say that the person bring attention to the situations is the messed up one
Are you wearing eyeliner by chance, Justin? I really enjoyed the video and music... until the end. I so wanted the hero to win and not give in. It reminds me a little of Sid Vicious' MY WAY which I thought was awesome!
i love the sax throw ins . reminds me of clowncore which is haaaaaaard af . kim and clowncore could go on tour with korn and im sure no-one would take up issue with it . thats a fkn vibe .
Good morning! (Time zones) The mullet is coming along nicely, Justin. I want to discover new music but I am afraid of what TikTok will do to my brain. Am I really missing out?
If you value your life and your time, STAY AWAY from Tiktok! It’s dangerously addictive and SO not worth it! Take it from someone who’s been lost down the cute puppy, funny kitty, candy-pulling rabbit hole! Any music worth hearing that crops up on there will eventually be covered on JHRA anyway! 🥰
OK, just watched the video, so far so new edge growling metal with hip hop daliance... what... was that a bosa nova interlude and a sax break! 10 out of 10 for mixing it up, not entirely sure it works for me. If what they are going for is a channel hopping/dial skipping effect, they nailed that one.
Hi Justin, love you and the channel, keep up the great and enlightening work. I was at your Wembley show last night, which was great, thank you. It wasn't quite what I was expecting though. Considering it was billed as a joint headline tour I was expecting a slightly different format. It actually felt you were BSC's warm-up act and were very much second billing. How did you decide who went on first, and did you alternate the running order over the tour? Thanks for the great content and best wishes in all your endeavours.
Not particularly into this. It manages to subvert genre expectations in a remarkably clichéd way. Severd up with imagery that, of the time, is considered taboo; the kind of thing your parents wouldn't approve of. Possibly just Marilyn Manson for the Prime® generation.
This is truly sad and disturbing but I think he may be reacting to all the gun violence that, instead of being outlawed, is encouraged. I also think he’s a lot like Peter Steele of Type O Negative with his shock value.
New stuff are good but its been a lot when you show as some good old rock stuff that you like (and maybe got under the scope for the new generation) for the "Dad Rock 4 Life" section. Also, did you think about commenting some rock movies and documentaries?
Hello, TBH I’d never heard of this as I’m old (48) and I don’t use Tik Tok….but I must say I fucking love it and haven’t stopped playing it since you reviewed it…..I’ve looked up his other videos and they’re fuckin amazing….I know it may be a gimmick incorporating so many different genres but it sounds so good. I look forward to hearing the album which I think is out on the 17th Feb. You can hear so many influences apart from the obvious…Marilyn Manson and Mr Bungle……and the hook chorus it’s so addictive…..Thanks Justin
I was looking for a comment mentioning Bungle! This feels to me so much like a continuation of what Bungle were doing back in the day, it's just a different mix of genres than what Bungle were using. I think incorporating so many different genres is only a gimmick when that's the only draw to the music, but with artists like Kim, Bungle, and Twelve Foot Ninja they do it so damn well that I find it hard to call it a gimmick. Or at least, if it is a gimmick, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
@@EvilMike349 ok, so I thought the album was out on the 17th…..maybe not, I just heard the new single ‘70 thorns’ sounds awesome there’s definitely Mike Patton FNMesque influence in there as well as rob Halford vocals…..oh and obviously Korn…amazing……when’s the fuckin album coming
I think the YT algorithm recommend this close to its debut to me. Saw it a bit ago. I am pretty diverse in my music but the way this was presented it was hard to tell what is possibly in the actual song and what may be just something created for the video. If I had enjoyed it musically would have to stream the actual song before purchasing. All for art and understand the hustle in today's music landscape but this I thought went too far especially since it sounds like it's gotten millions of views when it seemed to be making a statement about violence being used to make one famous. Now learning of the TikTok connection it makes a bit more sense musically. I'm guessing since at the time was watching a bunch of Mr Bungle and Dead Cross it got recommended to me in the first place.
Love your reactions!! Eya, have I mentioned Imminence?? Absolute 🔥🔥🔥 Infectious is a great start up song, or if you fancy getting meaty, try Temptation, especially the live video with the quartet string accompaniment... you will not be disappointed, I assure you guvnor!! 🤘

New Videoooo ❤❤❤❤
One of these days you're just going to have to go full on Pat Finnerty on a song or two. This one definitely needs to be torn down. I can't question the musicianship, but everything is so disjointed--there's no flow--no rhyme or reason, just a lot of random stuff thrown together with no thought to consistency. In short, no matter how good it could have been, it just sucked. Shock effect with a complete lack of cohesion. Not impressed.
If you haven't read the lyrics it's actually really good. Some parts are hard to hear in the style and getting all of the lyrics it paints the picture perfectly.
@@glitchtulsa3429 I dunno, that random sax made did me cackle.
Kim Dracula: good looking, art(?): awful
Its nice they let Justin have a guitar and recording equipment in his cell.
😂😂😂😂😂
He's a model prisoner. He might get out soon on good behaviour.
I think Kim Dracula is exciting at a time like this. There's a lot of potential, and with the few songs like Make Me Famous, Drown and their feature on a rapper called SosMula's song to a recent teaser, there should be much to look forward to.
Justin - you're on tour - you don't have to bang out a vid every day. We'll still be here when you get back.
Tour finishes tonight!
We do appreciate it though.
Just what I was thinking :)
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain And what a way to end it. We had a blast.
@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain I was there mate! You were amazing.

At first glance, I thought Justin was in jail. I thought it was cool that the guards let him bring his guitar and his computer.
for a minute there I thought he was maybe sitting on the toilet
definitely toilet.
Looks like jail to me too
That was last week... 😝

I like all sorts of weird and crazy things but this is completely off putting and not something I ever want to do with and I think that’s pretty much how most people feel. You don’t have to try to be so cool about everything, be real.
Huh? So because YOU don't like it, Justin has to not like it too? 😂
Justin is real in every sense. I commented, yesterday, on his being real, in a congratulatory and grateful fashion, regarding his Friday 3 February 2023 video.
Kimdracula is an old deftones song, you're right
This guy is from my home town. Guys got talent
Meh. Trying too hard to be edgy is all I see. Didn’t hear anything that blew me away talent wise.
This is like corn and peanuts. No matter how hard I try to digest it…I can’t and just have to flush it whole.
He talked about the music in approximately three sentences. I think that sums up this artist. Shock value, shock value and shock value... and little more. Not saying there is anything wrong with that. The oldest trick in the book. Another Marilyn Manson. I just feel that the music should do the talking. I guess, I'm getting old.
After Tom Verlaine’s passing, maybe you could do a video on Television’s Marquee Moon .. ? Would be really interesting, especially all these amazing solo’s, riffs.
Capitol records signed Bloodrock, remember them?(genre/band) in 1970, and you’ll recall their song “D.O.A” - just thinking about labels and what they have to offer.
Will do well with the 14 year old tiktok kids.they dont LISTEN to music anymore.its all about visuals now.
Um…..listen to the original Mr Bungle record that came out in 1991. They were doing the whole genre blending thing back then …,and much better too.
This is a reaction video I didn't know i needed. Now I just need Elizabeth (The Charismatic Voice) to review because I know it's gonna be great.
Wembley was banging last night, took my boy to his first gig to see his favorite band . I say no more .
Come to Derbyshire and experience the joy of sniffing the air as you go past the Swizzles factory in New Millls and working out which sweets are being made. Drumsticks and Refreshers are especially distinctive 😋
What a nice little viddy for all the grade school kids.
This artist is Australian! Who are they to be making a video about everyday American life? I can look out my window and see this shit! On the plus side, we may have just seen the smashing fashion innovation of a flannel shirt and eyeliner. Who's the real innovator here!
the song and video are a statement on the society we live in and how everyone has gotten so used to the messed up things that happen anymore, it brings attention to how most people just dont care anymore until someone tries to talk about it then just say that the person bring attention to the situations is the messed up one
Have a brilliant night at Wembley Guitar 🎸 man , enjoy every minute 🔥🔥 🔥 ☘️
Walked past this dude in an airport a few months ago, if I wasn’t in a hurry I would have said hi
Which "dude" - Justin or Samuel Wellings?
@@TheNavarro6767 Mr. Wellings
Are you wearing eyeliner by chance, Justin? I really enjoyed the video and music... until the end. I so wanted the hero to win and not give in. It reminds me a little of Sid Vicious' MY WAY which I thought was awesome!
LOL..eyeliner... I was impressed his hair was brushed!
Yeah he's wearing eyeliner. Is it me or is it hot in here 🥵😂
That’s your next song title Justin, stretching the sugary delights
i love the sax throw ins . reminds me of clowncore which is haaaaaaard af . kim and clowncore could go on tour with korn and im sure no-one would take up issue with it . thats a fkn vibe .
You should definitely check out "Drown" as well, that song's arguably even more mental. Great review as always Justin!
I call this genre; 'Seeking for attention Metal'
Crazy worked for Gaga!!
Adhd metal more like
It's fresh and brilliant 🤘
Love to hear your views on Japan's Wagakki Band sometime Mr J, keep up the great content.
some of this is lifted from John Zorn 'Naked City' totally.
Good morning! (Time zones) The mullet is coming along nicely, Justin.
I want to discover new music but I am afraid of what TikTok will do to my brain. Am I really missing out?
If you value your life and your time, STAY AWAY from Tiktok! It’s dangerously addictive and SO not worth it! Take it from someone who’s been lost down the cute puppy, funny kitty, candy-pulling rabbit hole! Any music worth hearing that crops up on there will eventually be covered on JHRA anyway! 🥰
It's so nice they let you stream from that jail cell your obviously sitting in :)
OK, just watched the video, so far so new edge growling metal with hip hop daliance... what... was that a bosa nova interlude and a sax break! 10 out of 10 for mixing it up, not entirely sure it works for me. If what they are going for is a channel hopping/dial skipping effect, they nailed that one.
Hi Justin, love you and the channel, keep up the great and enlightening work. I was at your Wembley show last night, which was great, thank you. It wasn't quite what I was expecting though. Considering it was billed as a joint headline tour I was expecting a slightly different format. It actually felt you were BSC's warm-up act and were very much second billing. How did you decide who went on first, and did you alternate the running order over the tour? Thanks for the great content and best wishes in all your endeavours.
Not particularly into this.
It manages to subvert genre expectations in a remarkably clichéd way. Severd up with imagery that, of the time, is considered taboo; the kind of thing your parents wouldn't approve of.
Possibly just Marilyn Manson for the Prime® generation.
This is truly sad and disturbing but I think he may be reacting to all the gun violence that, instead of being outlawed, is encouraged. I also think he’s a lot like Peter Steele of Type O Negative with his shock value.
You can't outlaw things that are already illegal
@@drunvert guns are legal, even military grade artillery is currently legal in the states.
Don't insult Peter's memory by likening him to that utter shite... not the same vibe at all.💩
@@mimilini1 I know. Awesome. Crime is illegal though. So don't do crimes
Burn the system to the ground kids, it's up to you.
The shooting is a bit much, and wow I didn’t expect their voice to sound like that 🥸🫣
Tik tok has brought quite a few hits back into my playlist 😂
"A TicTok K Hole". Clever statement not everyone will get.
Ketamine ?
New stuff are good but its been a lot when you show as some good old rock stuff that you like (and maybe got under the scope for the new generation) for the "Dad Rock 4 Life" section. Also, did you think about commenting some rock movies and documentaries?
Kim is a mix of all the 90’s-00’s bands put together and loves Twist by KoRn so bad
Hello,
TBH I’d never heard of this as I’m old (48) and I don’t use Tik Tok….but I must say I fucking love it and haven’t stopped playing it since you reviewed it…..I’ve looked up his other videos and they’re fuckin amazing….I know it may be a gimmick incorporating so many different genres but it sounds so good. I look forward to hearing the album which I think is out on the 17th Feb. You can hear so many influences apart from the obvious…Marilyn Manson and Mr Bungle……and the hook chorus it’s so addictive…..Thanks Justin
I was looking for a comment mentioning Bungle! This feels to me so much like a continuation of what Bungle were doing back in the day, it's just a different mix of genres than what Bungle were using. I think incorporating so many different genres is only a gimmick when that's the only draw to the music, but with artists like Kim, Bungle, and Twelve Foot Ninja they do it so damn well that I find it hard to call it a gimmick. Or at least, if it is a gimmick, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.
@@EvilMike349 ok, so I thought the album was out on the 17th…..maybe not, I just heard the new single ‘70 thorns’ sounds awesome there’s definitely Mike Patton FNMesque influence in there as well as rob Halford vocals…..oh and obviously Korn…amazing……when’s the fuckin album coming
Just seen the video very corny…..bit of a let down compared to the others….btw I meant corny not ‘Korny’..
Marilyn Manson, Trap, Emo...enough said.
That "Dracula" band seemed like a reboot of Marilyn Manson, to me.
"Don't look a me nervously because i've put a dent in the Atkin" HAHAHAHA i laughed so hard at this
I think the YT algorithm recommend this close to its debut to me. Saw it a bit ago.
I am pretty diverse in my music but the way this was presented it was hard to tell what is possibly in the actual song and what may be just something created for the video. If I had enjoyed it musically would have to stream the actual song before purchasing.
All for art and understand the hustle in today's music landscape but this I thought went too far especially since it sounds like it's gotten millions of views when it seemed to be making a statement about violence being used to make one famous.
Now learning of the TikTok connection it makes a bit more sense musically. I'm guessing since at the time was watching a bunch of Mr Bungle and Dead Cross it got recommended to me in the first place.
Justin, you’re too nice! It’s okay to call this complete shite. Cheers!
Jesus, this looks like the soundtrack to a future school shooting.
Finally!!! Safe travels!!! KD🖤
This song makes me think back to the late 2010s type alternative/emo songs, plus shooting guns
Love your reactions!! Eya, have I mentioned Imminence?? Absolute 🔥🔥🔥 Infectious is a great start up song, or if you fancy getting meaty, try Temptation, especially the live video with the quartet string accompaniment... you will not be disappointed, I assure you guvnor!! 🤘
