Alex Newell & DJ Cassidy with Nile Rodgers - Kill The Lights (Official Video)

[@JetDraw]

Hearing this from RPDR at first I thought this might be a classic old groove song. Well this song is underrated. :O

[@nexenzy5825]

Same! its just got that old school vibe to it!

[@migueldelgado4393]

Same, sis. I thought it was from the 80s. It's such a bop. And the fact that Alex was in dragrace celebs makes it even better💖

[@daisybelle386]

JetDraw sAME

[@kimberlymckee6588]

FYI. Sounds old school because it was produced by Nile Rodgers. This is classic Chic

[@david-jonballinger6638]

Same, I thought this was a really old song. I thought it was fab and needed to look it up.

It hurt my spirit to see a photo from the '80s of Sylvester severely ill . But it brings joy to hear Alex Newell, really.

Why wasn't this a HUGE hit? Possible the BEST disco track in the last decade. Production, sound, groove, hook, and amazing vocals by Alex = amazing!

[@applem05]

As someone who has only discovered this in the last month I agree

[@ssuuppeerrbbooyy]

Its an awesome song but Im guessing it didn't do that well because disco has been dead for 40 years.

BOP! Strong bop! Absolute bop! THE bop!

[@greggmitchell2392]

Who else is still stuck on repeat in 2019?! This is the best disco track of the last decade or more. I am telling you if this song was originally released back in 1978-79 it would have been a #1 smash.

Conosco questo pezzo da Marzo, quando lo ascoltai in Vinyl. A Giugno nonostante vedevo in rete il video, nessuna radio lo programmava, confermando che i network italiani spesso di musica non capiscono una mazza. A Luglio , finalmente la comparsa su ogni stazione. Era inevitabile. Questa è Disco 70 tornata allo stato puro e non ce n'è per nessuno !!!

[@hmmme3]

This is honestly one of the best songs I've heard in a while. Needs more global recognition

[@MerrittJeff1970]

This is a crazy beautiful song Modern Day Mozart fo sur.. Heard it last night on HBO's Vinyl and it immediately grabbed me. Fortunately Nile Rodgers guitar was unmistakable so I could find it in a search. Whom ever wrote this tune congrats. That melody moves. Alex Newell's voice is perfect for this song. Everything about this is pure genius. Let's move it's there.

[@kimmccarley6180]

[@jeffreyfortson8230]

Dayum!!!!!! This track is scorching hot! If this doesn't bring disco back, nothing will. This would have been huge in 1977 when I was kid back in Queens, New York. I can hear this now on WKTU or WBLS. And of course having Nile Rodgers on the track doesn't hurt. Truly brilliant piece of music. Well done, Alex! Well done!
