Just move your body to the beat Music is the only one that you could ever hold on Music is the only god to ever bring us the life Listen up Time - it ain’t stoppin’, no Do what you want This moment is the energy We got the whole night Stop when it feels right Rest your mind and let it be Music is the only one that you could ever hold on Music is the only god to ever bring us the life

(I wanna hold your thigh, oh my) This is MC Roki, kickin some ass With straight up lyrics and steps to synapse Keep it simple, keep it real ‘Cause everybody here has a special dear one Two, three and to the four You’re the one I adore on the d-d-d-dancefloor Lately, I’ve been mourning To the good old times, now I’m lonely But maybe it’s a warning To get up, up, up To get up Lately, I’ve been mourning To the good old times, now I’m lonely But maybe it’s a warning To get up, up, up To get up ‘Cause tonight I’m falling for you It’s something I can’t ignore Come closer, let me explore ‘Cause tonight I’m falling for you I cannot help but want more You’re the one that I want for sure Now it may be a cliche, but I’m just sayin’, hun Touche, it’s you and me in the sun Sharing degrees with the bees and the trees Please, honey, we could do with some cheese, don’t we? Lately, I’ve been mourning To the good old times, now I’m lonely (Ooh, don’t worry baby) But maybe it’s a warning To get up, up, up To get up (I got the cheese, babe, yeah) Lately, I’ve been mourning To get up, up, up To get up ‘Cause tonight I’m falling for you It’s something I can’t ignore Come closer, let me explore ‘Cause tonight I’m falling for you I cannot help but want more You’re the one that I want for sure ‘Cause tonight I’m falling for you ‘Cause tonight I’m falling for you

Interlude 01:21

In the dark hours of the night When the moon takes up the sky Lonely hearts together we’re high Dancing feelings alone Only remedy you know it is Lonely hearts dancing in the dark Lights out, eyes shut, no one else here Only you and the lonely heart that’s beating for two Dancing like a fool Together alone just on your own Stay alone together Oh my troubled heart, it’s aching Late night feelings, they’re coming down on me I’m always looking for the wrong affection Give some attention to me I don’t wanna cry again Lonely hearts dancing in the dark Lights out, eyes shut, no one else here Only you and the lonely heart that’s beating for two Dancing like a fool Together alone just on your own Stay alone together Lonely hearts dancing in the dark Lights out, eyes shut, no one else here Only you and the lonely heart that’s beating for two Dancing like a fool Together alone just on your own Stay alone together

Boytoy 03:10
You can never say I don’t want your love ‘Cause mine was unconditional You can never give up fighting, wanting more I ain’t your toy, I’m not a boy (I ain’t your toy) I could never see the fire burning out ‘Cause our love was unconventional I could never tell you played me like a fool I ain’t your toy, I’m not a boy (I want you to) Suffer from the choices made Even if I’m blamed for the same All the shit that catches up When you think you’re someone you’re not All the shit that catches up When you think you’re someone you’re not All the shit it catches up, catches up, catches up Suffer from the choices made (Suffer from the choices we’ve made) Even if I’m blamed for the same (Even if I’m blamed for the same) All the shit it catches up (All the shit it catches up) When you think you’re someone you’re not

Locked in a maze Don’t wanna stay here all alone, and I won’t (Outta here now) Carried away So many ways to get out of here (Outta here now) Running til I’m out of breath Chasing the feeling of myself Stepping outside of my shell Escaping the limits I know so well Kinda sad you cast me out Kinda glad it got me out Showed me I don’t need your love Ooh, I like it Fais attention à ce qu’on souhaite Dernière regard j’vais disparaître Je n’ai pas besoin de toi Ooh, C’est comme je l’aime Ooh, I love it J’vais danse ce soir Personne ne va me dire non, ces bâtards À partir de maintenant Je décide de ce qui vient ensuite Running til I’m out of breath Chasing the feeling of myself Stepping outside of my shell Escaping the limits I know so well Kinda sad you cast me out Kinda glad it got me out Showed me I don’t need your love Ooh, I like it Fais attention à ce qu’on souhaite Dernière regard j’vais disparaître J’ai ne pas besoin de toi Ooh, Ce comme je l’aime Ooh, I love it

Fly, Goodbye 03:47
Fly, fly, bye bye Fly, fly, bye bye Fly, fly, bye bye It was like any other night in the town I was only there to drown my sorrow Oh no, something was coming at me Yeah, Standing on the floor all alone Looking damn cute in that suit I’m too good for you I wanna be a free bird and I just wanna fly Flap my wings so high, honeybee – bye bye We’ve got no reason To play this game every day and all night We got it better if we fly, goodbye When you tell me your dreams baby, I believe Now in your name I’ll do the same I need to build my own paradise Take a chance, break a fence or two So good feels this coming of age I wanna be a free bird and I just wanna fly Flap my wings so high, honeybee – bye bye Y’know sometimes You gotta let it all go So that you would know Where you came from (Fly, fly, bye bye) We’ve got no reason (Fly, fly, bye bye) To play this game every day and all night (Fly, fly, bye bye) We got it better if we fly, goodbye

about

Babymakers, soul-shakers and dancefloor bound bangers ahead. Silky Steps hustles towards the scene trailblazed by Nile Rodgers, and currently held by the likes of Jungle, L’imperatrice and Parcels. The 5-piece hailing from Estonia’s summer capital Pernau have their own concoction of neo-soul, nu-disco and pop-funk to offer, though. At the helm, a combo of male-female lead vocals sing about the X-rated side of life. Plentiful synths and suave basslines get all the right juices flowing. All the while a musical guest will pop in here and there to provide a sax solo, sing a ref or throw down a little rap.

The latter is especially true for their upcoming LP “Universal Language.” Robert Linna of Lexsoul Dancemachine lent his falsetto to the latter track, while MC Roki raps on “Falling For You” and Rahel collabs on the title-track. In total, there are 10 tracks on the album that’s put out digitally and on vinyl via Funk Embassy Records – the imprint that recently won Record label of the Year at the Estonian music industry awards.
