Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Watching Young Love mastermind Dan Keyes wriggle his hips behind the
microphone as he yelps, “If you get the chance/You must dance, dance,
dance,” on the R&B-tinged “Find a New Way,” one would never know he
used to be a member of an emo band. Keyes, formerly the moping frontman
of Recover, has re-imagined his musical stylings into swift, danceable
numbers that sound like what might happen if his former group had a
baby with Justin Timberlake. Fueled by dynamic beats and lines such as
“You make fast living look just fine,” Young Love rips through songs
that urge concertgoers to get their bodies moving on the dance floor.
The clear highlight of every Young Love show is “Discotech,” whose
infectious chorus and driving beat give partiers no choice but to
follow Keyes’s instructions to “dance, dance, dance.”
