South African singer-songwriter Dylan Tori's latest single, 'Dance A Little More,' is sure to have you dancing with glee. This upbeat, feel-good bootscootin' boogie is available now on all platforms.
It is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and get you moving with its modern country style and refreshing twist. Produced by and featuring Mark Beling, renowned for his success as the frontman and songwriter for the South African band Mean Mr Mustard, as well as his solo performance and production career, 'Dance A Little More' is an irresistible addition to your playlist for brightening your day and keeping you dancing well into the night.
Dylan Tori shares, "This song is all about feeling good, getting up, grabbing a partner, and dancing. Lyrically, I wanted to tell an eternal love story. I aimed to paint a picture of feeling alone, down, and lost in the world until that one person, moment, opportunity, or encounter presents itself and sweeps you off your feet. It fills you with a love, light, and joy that you can’t get enough of, transforming your life forever. Often, when writing a song, it begins with a melody and the emotion that melody evokes in me. These emotions provide a story or a scene, much like how I imagine movie scriptwriters work. 'Dance A Little More' was no different.
Friso Woudstra came up with the introductory line, which had an upbeat, country feel, setting the scene perfectly. I enjoy writing story-based songs, hoping to capture the audience's imagination and allow them to paint their own interpretation of the song. The vibe we aimed for was a country, upbeat, good bootscootin' boogie song – essentially an English 'sokkie treffer' (a popular South African dance hit). I hope everyone loves the vibe and the stories, and that it makes you feel good, puts love in your heart, and fire in your dance shoes."
