3 min read
You know those times past when disco use to be where people experience all sort of everything there? Like the pain, love, joy and fear, where the disco use to be like a therapeutic environment? Such scenery, vibe and energy is what 9 o’clock Nasty’s latest single, “Hot Disco Shit” carries. A song that takes us back to the feels and vibe the nostalgic disco nights had. The song which comes with this vibrant and defiant feel is a raw and captivating piece that captures the essence of retro disco infused with a contemporary edge. Now here’s the catch, if you don’t know, this is the 6th release from their upcoming album titled “This Is Crowland”. So the track is indeed poised to be a banger and more, and trust me the beats, lyrics and delivery are just nuts.
Now this song Hot Disco Shit, ain’t just amazing but the way it carves listeners listeners to don their skin-tight fabric and head straight into a world where disco reigns supreme is unmatched. The moment you hit the play button, you realize how beautifully the song blends nostalgic beats of the disco era with a modern flair which immediately captures you and gets you hooked to it groove, creating a sound which is very familiar but refreshingly new. What I love about the track is it’s dynamics, from its infectious rhythm to the pulsating beats, my goodness, the track just sways you away with every pinch of sound in there. Then as the song progresses, man o man, that catchy chorus with its repetitive lines like, “party yeah with the people you trust,” hints at the infectious mantra that pushes listeners to loose themselves in the songs atmosphere but in the midst of people they trust. It’s captivating, exhilarating and shoulders and heels above all, you just can’t ignore its addiction. The song tho, is a touching reflection on the joy, fear, love and pain that characterized the disco era, particularly in the shadow of the AIDS crisis. Man, you just can’t catch a breath with this song, the lyrics which comes in its raw nature, celebrates and reminds listeners of the past’s darker times in the disco era. The way they crafted the lyrics, making it playful and provocative also adds more humor and makes the track even better. You know, those times, you needed to dress to kill, so the experiences, trauma of nights spent trying to gain entry into exclusive clubs, only to be turned away at the door, oh man, just crazy. This is what the song brings, with lines like “weep to the beat”, creates a haunting atmosphere of sadness and celebration, filled with bittersweet moments.
Well Hot Disco Shit by 9 o’clock Nasty ain’t just your regular song, the feel and scenes the song creates puts the listener in the shoes of those people who experienced the darker disco times. The song just wants us to open our arms to the retro spirit of disco, not just as a means of escape but to powerfully express our resilience in the face of uncertainties. So why don’t you go ahead and have a feel of this beautiful track, and have a wonderful weekend ahead. ENJOY!! Make sure to check them out on the links below for more;
