Joshua Pearlstein Reminds Us How to Let Go on Upbeat New Single Wanna Dance

I always get a quiet sense of “I told you so” when I discover an artist early on and then watch them go on to great things. Is that smug? Perhaps. I guess I’ll just chalk it up to trusting my musical instincts.

Joshua Pearlstein first appeared on my sonic radar almost two years ago with Wandering Degenerate. Then came Endorphins, and I was sold, along with nearly 700,000 other Spotify listeners. Numerous singles have since followed, but it's his latest, Wanna Dance, that I am proud to introduce you to today. Let's dive in!

Described by Joshua as "the best song I've released to date,"Wanna Dance is a joyful, explosive, and highly addictive little number. It's bold and synthy and so upbeat that, whether you want to or not, you can't help but get swept up in its bright, dancefloor-ready energy.

Channelling freedom through movement and emotion, Joshua's new single is a cathartic release of pent-up expectations. A reminder that sometimes the best thing you can do is stop thinking and just move. 

"There's so much pressure to prove yourself, to be something," says the artist. "This song is about letting all of that go and just dancing - what I love to do."

Hey - I told you he was the real deal!
