Lady (Hear Me Tonight)

I hear this at 125 BPM in 11A and immediately recognise the refrain locked into a steady tech-house grid. The energy is pitched to the ceiling from the outset, which means the kick and bass do their job without ever letting the room exhale; to my ears, it is all forward motion, bright and functional. I would not reach for this to make a nuanced statement, but somewhere around two o'clock, when the floor needs a recognisable anchor, it sits neatly enough. The texture is clean, almost polite, and the key keeps everything in a comfortable minor glow that stops the brightness from turning brittle. It is serviceable.
