New York DJ/producer GR1FN collaborates with musician and rising star Chaz Marcus, formerly the original Simba from The Lion King on Broadway, to deliver a feel-good afro house banger with a pop sheen and irresistible appeal in their new single, "Groove Groove." With slick production from GR1FN and star power from Chaz Marcus, this track does not so much ask you to dance as dare you not to.
The production is slick, yet not overpolished, allowing the rhythm to have a bounce that feels immediately like something to move to. This is the kind of track you listen to once and can't help but hum. Its hook "To the Left, To the Right, To the Right baby, Groove Groove" clings like flattened gum to a summer sidewalk. But it is Chaz Marcus's silky, infectious vocal delivery that puts it over the top. And he doesn't just sing the hook, but he owns it, imbuing those poses and quirks with personality and flair that's like a flash of a wink from across the dance floor.
The combination of afro house textures with commercial sensibility, GR1FN lands in the favorably global, ready-for-radio sweet spot. It's fun, fresh, and, most of all, enjoyable. The song doesn't take itself too seriously because it doesn't have to. It knows what it is: the pure celebration of groove and movement. Whether you're blasting it at a rooftop party or riding out the sunset on the beach, "Groove Groove" is a lesson in what summer music is meant to feel like: easy, irresistible, and full of life.
