No, your eyes don’t deceive you; half of that title is in all caps, but it’s not my fault. You can blame Mr. JT for that. I don’t like to use all caps unless I’m screaming at someone or exclaiming something in joy. I assume that that’s what Justin’s doing with this track. I definitely would since it’s the first new song he’s dropped in years.
I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped on the floor when I saw his tweets last week leading up to the release. I was so excited about some new music by him and in shocked that all of my favorites were dropping new projects. It totally slipped my mind that Justin’s new track would be for the movie that he’s doing. I’d heard about ‘Trolls‘ a few months ago, and I guess it crossed my mind then that the might be doing something for the soundtrack but time passed and that was put on the backburner. Well he dropped “CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!” on Friday and I’ve been dancing since.
I love the video too! Anna Kendrick, Gwen Stefani and James Corden are just a few of the of people co-starring in the movie with Justin and they’re also in the video lip-syncing and dancing along. I love that it’s not your typical video, it’s just the co-stars doing their own thing in cars, dressing rooms, arcade and sidewalk and Justin and his crew in a studio listening session. Justin has his background dancers (and yes I say that their his dancers because the majority of them have been with him for at least a decade; some have even been with him since his Justified days) and his mother and step-dad. What I would have given to be a fly on the wall in that studio that day. I could honestly continue to describe the video, but I’d rather let y’all take a look for yourselves.
If this isn’t already on your Spring/Summer playlist please add it. I know I’ll be dancing to it for awhile.
