Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

No risque lyrics or bump-and-grind beats to worry about here. This is a J.T.-style funkadelic pop track featuring solid soul vocals from newcomer 20-year-old Esmee Denter. While it starts with J.T. rapping "Hands up/I show you what I do.../Everybody knows this is the anthem," Denter takes the lead for most of the song, belting the chorus "Follow my lead/we'll go where no one goes.../Everyone leaves/be the one still standing strong."

With a positive message, a funky beat, and a good purpose, this is a single that's hard to resist.
