HJ Soul Returns With Outstanding New Track “Get What I Want”

Known for his soulful sound and thought-provoking lyrics, HJ Soul has captivated audiences worldwide, and the R&B/soul singer-songwriter is back with his electrifying new single, “Get What I Want”. With the release of his latest track, the UK artist takes us on a nostalgic journey back to the late ‘90s and early ‘00s garage era, all while delivering a profound message of overcoming life’s challenges with faith and courage.
HJ Soul began his career by enchanting listeners with his moving renditions of popular soul songs from the past few decades. His talent quickly garnered attention, and he soon ventured into songwriting, allowing him to share his personal journey and explore spiritual themes. The release of his 2022 EP, Soul Desires, introduced a fresh contemporary R&B sound to his repertoire, gaining significant momentum among listeners. One track in particular, “Fantasy”, struck a chord with fans, further establishing HJ Soul as a rising star in the industry.
Last year, HJ Soul also released an album, All in the Mind, which delved into the concepts of the mind and spirituality. He explored this theme further on the powerful 2023 single “Can’t Take This Anymore”, aimed at raising awareness for mental health – a topic of utmost importance in today’s world.
Now, HJ Soul makes a remarkable return with “Get What I Want”, a track that fuses his soulful vocals with the infectious energy of UK garage music. However, “Get What I Want” goes beyond being just a UK garage/dance song; it delves deep into the trials and tribulations of life, emphasising the importance of faith, courage and self-awareness in overcoming obstacles and achieving one’s aspirations. HJ Soul believes that with these attributes and the support of the people around us, anything is possible.
Speaking about his new single, HJ Soul shares, “The lyrics talk about the difficulties and challenges of life and how faith and courage has been needed to surpass obstacles and hurdles. It talks about the possibilities we can achieve with our abilities and that faith is all it takes and self-awareness, and people around you can help you get there as well.” “Get What I Want” arrives alongside a remastered version, and both are available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

Feelgood Frequencies: Why CR Srikanth’s “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” Is The Sonic Hug You Didn’t Know You Needed

If you’ve been looking for a track that feels like a warm, nostalgic hug wrapped in shimmering synths, CR Srikanth’s new single “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” might be exactly what you need. It offers a beautiful balance of emotional depth and danceable energy, pulling you out of your head and into a place where you can just breathe, feel, and move. In a world that often feels overwhelming, this track delivers a sense of calm and release.
Srikanth, a US-based Indian composer and sonic storyteller, has carved out a unique musical space with his self-created genre, VS Pop™ (Very Smooth Pop). Drawing from vintage 1980s synthpop, ambient soundscapes, and cinematic orchestral touches, he’s crafted a style that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. “Dancing in the Dark” continues that evolution. It is at once intimate and expansive, polished yet deeply human.
The track features vocals from Junior Paez, whose delivery adds emotional texture to the lyrics. There’s a quiet honesty in lines like “Don’t you think you’re losing your mind again?” and “Hold on, I’ll take you a little higher tonight.” These words speak to the chaos we often feel inside, but instead of staying stuck there, the song encourages movement, connection, and hope. It is music that acknowledges the darkness but chooses to dance through it anyway.
The production is rich with shimmering arpeggiators, retro synth bass, and crisp electronic drums. It brings together nostalgia and futurism in a way that feels effortless. Imagine flickering neon lights, soft motion blur, and the kind of energy that makes you want to close your eyes and sway. It is cinematic but never overwhelming. Every layer serves the emotion at the heart of the track.
What makes “Dancing in the Dark” so appealing is how well it adapts to your mood. Whether you’re heading out for a solo night drive, setting the vibe for a weekend gathering, or simply lying on your bed in need of a reset, this song fits the moment. It never pushes too hard, but it always lands exactly where it needs to. There is something comforting about how sure of itself it feels.
CR Srikanth is not just making music for the sake of it. He is building emotional landscapes for listeners to get lost in and to find themselves again. With “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™,” he offers more than just a catchy tune. He gives us space to reflect, to feel seen, and to find joy in the act of simply moving forward. So press play, turn it up, and let yourself be lifted. This one’s for the heart, the soul, and the feet.
