Somewhere there's a dancefloor and the music that goes all night

I don't know much about American singer Brendan Velasquez. I guess you could say he's a "MySpace artist" and I'm vowing not to get too attached to any of those--groups break up, songs disappear, quality's not always a guarantee (does someone have more than one good song in them?)--but, if we can ignore thoughts of the future and really just context generally, the following song is pretty good. Theoretically, there's an album coming out this summer, but who knows with anything--even JC Chasez is having trouble getting another album out there.

Anxious--boy-sung kind of electro-pop. The chorus is pretty catchy--really, most of the song is. [Edit: previously a long tangent, which basically sums up to 1.) Simon Curtis's music is excellent, but 2.) this isn't Simon Curtis.] Anyhow, after that extended tangent, back to the song: it's pop, it's mid mid-tempo, it's catchy in this sort of laid-back but dark way (the title is "Anxious," and the song fits that--it feels on edge), and it's good. Very good.

To buy Brendan Velasquez's song "Anxious" as well as several others, go to his MySpace.

Given that this is an artist on an indie label, the song will only be available for a few days.

Next up: maybe a Spanish singer.
