An enveloping new single from Brendemere, “Just Don’t Ask Me To Dance” thematically captures a hope for home and solace within a dynamic production — showcasing orchestral flourishes and fervent guitar rises alike, amidst an impassioned vocal lead. The project, led by Christopher Pennison, recently released their self-titled album; its lead single “Just Don’t Ask Me To Dance” kicks off the release with strong melodic immediacy.
A spirited opening invigorates, as vocals let out “here we go!” within an anthemic arsenal of brass, piano, and guitar-filled enjoyment. Lyrical ruminations on “being far away from your home,” builds with vibrant appeal, pairing a punchy pop charisma with orchestral flourishes. The vocals continue to soar as the strings attain even more of a shimmering quality. A rousing guitar addition at the two-minute turn injects a sweltering appeal, as the vocals hope that “maybe you’re the one who can assure me so.” “Just Don’t Ask Me To Dance” is an ardent pop tour-de-force from Brendemere.
