Todrick Hall returns with Dance Forever: First Listen

When you've spent the best part of two years slobbed out on the sofa, the concept of clubbing can start to feel a little foreign.

There was a time we truly thought we'd never step foot on a dancefloor again. What a dark time that was. But, if anybody's going to thrust us firmly back into life as we knew it, it's Todrick Hall.

With no time left to waste, he's here to serve a much-needed slice of serotonin with new single Dance Forever. 'Let me teach you, what they'll never teach in school,' asks Todrick. 'When the cool kids grow up they're never cool.' From the off, Dance Forever establishes itself as a song for the outcast; the kid who feels they don't fit in.

But Dance Forever isn't a song of self-pity; rather a statement of acceptance and embracing individuality. 'When the bass starts beating like an earthquake, and the sweat starts pouring like you're in the rain,' Todrick sings over synths that could easily be lifted from an '80s, straight-to-VHS movie soundtrack (and we genuinely mean that as the highest compliment).
