Rising Jacksonville, FL house/tech house Star OKAYVAL has come a long way since I first discovered her music at around the 1k Instagram follower mark. Her passionate and interactive Instagram prescience has gradually increased her following to over 56K since I first heard “Poison” in February of this year. “Poison” is an incredibly well-layered track that has cemented itself as a certified bop with endless replay value. Her rise has been fun to watch and she is grateful for each of her fans and followers.
OKAYVAL has been hard at work cooking up beats and is BACK AT IT AGAIN with a highly anticipated drop, “Disco.” The hype behind this track has been WILD and the finished product delivers on all fronts! “Disco” begins with rhythmic vocal samples, hard-hitting kicks, and SHARP hi-hats. A consistent rumble of bass lurks below the surface, just waiting to be unleashed. Auditory crystals shatter in the background, while the lyrics capture the unique energy that can only be found on a LIT dance floor.
“I just want to feel the bass. I just want to see the lights. I just want to be at the disco. Everybody wants to go to the Disco!”
The track switches gears, transforming into a glorious and BASSY techno soundscape, as buzzes and clicks dance in harmony. The hi-hats make a grand return, embodying the vibe and sound of Tech-House. Rising Bass notes transform into alarms, as the addictive hook resurfaces between track segments. Subtle laser effects and rolling rhythms keep the party going before the elements fade to a whisper. The vocals return, repeating the addictive dance-floor mantra mentioned above. Lightly-hit cymbals keep up the beat going, as the elements fade back in. Tropical drum notes are added to this bass heavy track. Capturing the Florida Vibe in all its glory. Infectious hook in tow. Another alarm rings out, as the high-hats and House beat join us once again. Fading out with echoing vocals, a rising line of synth, and shuffling instrumentals. WELL DONE!
“Disco” was well worth the wait and demonstrates OKAYVAL’s evolving style and increasing confidence in her production abilities. Pushing the boundaries of the genre and her artistic capabilities. There are also lots of hidden gems for listeners to discover in this dance floor anthem. An incredible club beat that is sure to make your next party or gathering an epic “DISCO”!
