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!

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💖

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

Why was this not a massive hit?! Proof that the radio don't know sh!t when it comes to good music. Classic disco vibes reminds me of the era when talent was necessary to make MUSIQUE!

[@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.

[@markneame4718]

[@Frank76093]

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 !!!

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!

I so desperately want Alex to be one of the leading names in music. He’s just so unbelievably talented and unique. (Pun not intended😂) when rupaul said that Alex was honestly one of his favourite singers at the moment I had a big goofy smirk on my face. This angel is a STAR.

[@bottomofastairwell]

thank you. so glad someone else knows something more about alex than RPDR. I"ve been following them since the glee project, and then i watched them in glee, and i've been keeping an eye on this kid, because i always know they would do great things
