9.Yes You Are-HGX
I'm just going to throw it out there that Yes You Are's Kianna Alarid is quite possibly the best female vocalist in all of Kansas City and that this band may be the most densely talented group of people to boot because one Billy Williams is a fucking phenomenal bass player and excellent front man in his own right with his other project Drugs and Attics and Mrs. Alarid's songwriting partner in crime Jared White is just fucking knows how to craft a great god damn song and of all the surefire hit's in the waiting that this band has at their fingertips I'd have to say that this song is most certainly the easiest pick to highlight.
From it's utterly simple but effective synth lead in and vocal back-masking to Alarid's full throat assault on the chorus this song is 3 minutes of pop perfection in every possible way. The chorus is infectiously catchy, the verses are interesting, White harmonizes in the most complimentary way possible with Alarid, and most of all this song just makes you want to fucking dance.
There's a reason it's been used in a bunch of movies, ad campaigns, and various tv spots it's because this song is just pure unadulterated pop perfection from a band that very well may be the biggest thing to ever come out of this city if they decide to just say fuck it and take over the world already.
You got that right!!
