Summer Leap 2020 | Get A Head Start On Summer’s Biggest Dance Club Songs! - a podcast by Keith a.k.a. K j A M

Welcome to the Summer Leap 2020 where Party Favorz features some of the biggest Dance Club songs that will be permeating your brain throughout the sizzling summer months.

WHAT'S HOT NOW

As usual, this set features alternate versions of previously featured tracks like the super hot "Say So" by Doja Cat, which I had already picked to be one of the biggest tracks of the summer. While the hot temps are already here — summer hasn't even officially begun and yet this song has been perched atop the Billboard's Top 100 for a couple of weeks now. With its funky, feel-good disco build a slew of remixes have finally been commissioned for it with the Division 4 & Matt Consola version featured here.



We've got an amazing mashup of The Weeknd's massive "Blinding Lights" with Otto Knows "Million Voices," which was perfectly executed by DJs from Mars. The classic electro house track "Let Me Think About It" by Fredde Le Grand and Ida Corr get's a modern era rework and even Mr. Probz massive "Waves" from a few years back gets its own special treatment by J Bruus & James Jay.



Saint Jhn's "Roses," which has been sitting atop Billboard's Hot Dance Electronic Songs finally gets some floor-friendly remixes with the Imanbek remix featured here. Kelly Clarkson surprises with a new and unexpected new track "I Dare You," which under normal circumstances would be galloping it's way to the #1 spot on the Dance Club charts. Alan Walker puts out a sequel to his 2016 hit "Alone" with Ava Max doing vocal duties aptly titled "Alone pt.2"  and the superb collaboration between Major Lazer and Marcus Mumford (of Mumford and Sons) "Lay Your Head On Me" is so exquisite that even I'm surprised out well Mumford's vocals translate over to EDM in this soon to be summer smash.





THE PRINCESS OF POP

I want to talk about the elephant in the room — Dua Lipa. The woman has released what should have been her breakthrough album "Future Nostalgia" in the U.S. Folks, this is a solid album from the pop princess and while "Don't Start Now" has been a smash by any standard, the subsequent singles "Physical" and the more recent "Break My Heart" are not getting the attention they deserve. Most of this is due to the fact that she can't go out and tour to promote the album until (hopefully) January 2021. Party Favorz is in awe of Miss Lipa and frankly she's poised to take over Rihanna's thrown (who is not likely conceding anytime soon). Please support her music and album by streaming it on your favorite platform — it's totally worth it.



Equally, Halsey has been putting out some stellar tracks lately like "You Should Be Sad" and more recently "Be Kind" with Marshmello that are getting buried by the multitude of releases by Drake on the Hot 100. It's gotten to the point of ridiculousness. Yes, we love Drake and his excellent "Tootsie Slide" is featured here but seriously, dumping his entire album onto the charts simultaneously is really a shitty strategy that performs a disservice to other emerging artists — especially when a majority of those songs never break past #20 on the charts and drop off om rapid succession. Welcome to the age of streaming where artists are forced to put it all out there at once to make ...
