Jagwar Twin – Shine (Official Audio)

If you closely followed the emo boom of the 2000s, you might remember a band called Eye Alaska.

Despite coming from a post-hardcore background, they made waves among enthusiasts with a sound that had a stylish flair reminiscent of MAROON 5.

Unfortunately, they disbanded after releasing just one album, but frontman Roy English launched a new career under the name Jagwar Twin.

The song introduced here was released under the Jagwar Twin moniker in March 2020.

His powerful vocals are as strong as ever, and it’s a pop track whose grand chorus delivers a soaring sense of exhilaration—highly recommended for fans of Ed Sheeran.

Dance AgainSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez – Dance Again (Performance Video)

It’s a positive, getting-back-together love song.

The bass sound is cool and makes you feel like you want to start dancing.

Also, Selena Gomez has said “Somewhere in forever, we’ll dance again” in her past breakup songs, meaning that somewhere in eternity, we’ll surely dance again.

In the song Lose You to Love Me, she uses the lyric “This dancing was killing me softly,” and she has used the word “dance” before, so some Selena fans think those songs might be connected.
