Queenie's Choice, Thursday edition. Tonight's pick from the route card: 90s diva house / soulful gospel house β the lane riding the current No.1 on the soulful house chart this week, and a first for this channel. Church without a steeple: four-on-the-floor, warm rolling piano chords, gospel organ swells, choir harmonies, and a hook built for hands in the air.
The rule at DancingQueen: if your body doesn't want to move within 10 seconds, the concept is wrong. This one passes in two.
Testify, testify β every step is hallelujah. πͺ©
[Verse 1]
Eight o'clock, the week is done
I walk in with my shoulders high
The DJ knows what I came here for
Gospel in the bass and drum
[Pre-Chorus]
Something lifts my feet off the ground
Every stranger looks like a friend
[Chorus]
Testify, testify
Every step is hallelujah
Testify, testify
I was born to move like this
Raise it up, raise it high
Nothing ever feels like this
[Verse 2]
Hands are open, hearts are loud
Somebody's crying, somebody's dancing
This is church without a steeple now
Everybody's got a reason to move
[Chorus]
Testify, testify
Every step is hallelujah
Testify, testify
I was born to move like this
Raise it up, raise it high
Nothing ever feels like this
[Bridge]
Say it with your body, say it with your soul
We don't need a reason, we just need the roll
[Final Chorus]
Testify, testify
Every step is hallelujah
Testify, testify
I was born to move like this
Raise it up, raise it high
Nothing ever feels like this
[Outro]
Testify, testify
Move like this
