Establishing the mood with tropical percussion and textured drums, expanding with a dimensional rock and roll hybrid soundscape, Michael Dupuis opens Come And Dance With Me with dynamism, positivity and the lyrics, “Babe it’s been a long hard week, the weekend’s finally here…”
We immediately connect with the uplifting energy that manifests, and the intentional depth that Michael is creating with. The instrumentation is masterful, whilst the lyricism is clearly designed to bring to life the creators’ high frequency universe.
Naturally, we are invited to dance away our blues and enjoy the blissful notions that Michael Dupuis is bringing to life. It is a lively and heartwarming song with luscious power pop adjacency. In essence, it tells a story of love and companionship inspired by his life with his wife. The melodies are bright and engaging, drawing us into the joy and happiness of everyday moments at a time when we, as a society, need it the most. He confesses, “The story is based roughly on my experience meeting, dating, and marrying my sweet wife.”
Musically, the track blends classic rock influences with a modern touch. The guitar work by Kim Westwood adds a super dynamic edge to the song and really elevates the emotional quotient. Michael’s meticulous production is tangible as he makes every instrument and harmony sound polished and vibrant. Michael cites the Beatles, Steely Dan, Doobie Brothers, Little River Band, and Louisiana’s LeRoux as sonic influences, which we can feel come through, although there is no doubt that the star is creating a universe of his own.
It is abundantly clear that the song reflects Michael’s decades-long experience as a musician. From drumming as a child to singing, songwriting and recording, he brings a wealth of skill to the opus. His personal touch is evident in both the lyrics and the overall arrangement, creating a warm, charming and authentic experience.
Naturally, we are in awe, and have added Come And Dance With Me to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the talented artist’s wider discography, including You Da Man, and The Torch.
