American pop sensation Joshua Pearlstein has enjoyed a rather productive couple of years. Threading the fine line between mainstream alt-pop and euphoric electronica, the Los Angeles-based creative has built an artistic persona that’s incredibly bold and anthemic. One of the constant features of the project is its sharp, hard-hitting aural character. Pearlstein’s work enjoys a very loud and explosive production, the perfect fit for his commanding, charming vocals. Such an unmistakable character is also true for Pearlstein’s latest release, ‘Wanna Dance’.
At its core, ‘Wanna Dance’ feels like a freedom anthem, a positive and playful reminder of doing what makes one happy, regardless of any outside pressure. For Joshua, dancing is key. Therefore, the single embraces an overwhelmingly fierce ethos, seeking to highlight how societal pressure can often lead to sheer depression or simply a sense of unfulfillment. We feel this is a timely message, given the complex period we are all experiencing. A message drenched in authenticity, which we are confident will relate to a large audience out there.
Delving deeper into ‘Wanna Dance’, Pearlstein explains: “There’s so much pressure to prove yourself, to be something. This song is about letting all of that go and just dancing: what I love to do.” The record has been mixed by Yianni AP and mastered by four-time GRAMMY winner John Greenham.
