The short answer is yes, yes you absolutely can in regards to the title of Clifford’s newest song, “Can We Dance To This”. Please read on for our in-depth review of the single, as well as a background on this artist.

Having just released on June 22nd, 2022, Clifford has made his inevitable return with an energetic and ultimately upbeat single he’s titled “Can We Dance To This”. We’re not sure if the question was implied in the first please, but now having listened through multiple times, it quickly becomes one of those songs you want to get up and jam out to no matter the mood you might be in. If for some reason this is your introduction to the artist’s music in the first place, we can think of no better starting point than here with a listen.

Although the song itself is about “making a request to someone you've never met yet”, we do feel it could be interpreted in different ways depending on how you look at the lyrics. If anything, Clifford has crafted this one to be versatile in its message, but also a straightforward pop bop that’ll surely be stuck in your head for days to come. Somewhere between 80’s influence and what’s going on in the modern era of music, he’s managed to form this one in a way that oozes happiness and good times. We were immediately struck by the diversity in the instrumentation, mainly in the way that he utilized forms of synthesizers throughout, but what’s going to keep us coming back to his sound are his vocals undoubtedly. The passion behind them is immense and it’s his delivery that stands out the most from start to finish.

With summer basically here and the hot months not going away anytime soon, there’s no other style or genre we would want in our lives besides this. We mentioned versatility, but that also goes along the lines of setting and where you could enjoy this. Pop it on at the beach, at a BBQ, or even driving down the highway, and we can virtually guarantee that you won’t be mad you did. As this review is coming out on release day, and even if you’re reading it afterwards, we sincerely urge everyone out there to give it a spin as soon as you can!

We’ve included the most important links below to listen, follow along, and of course to keep up with everything else he’s got on the way. Enjoy!
