It is one thing if Afrobeta asked the question, “Do you like to party,” because honestly, who does not like to party. But the initial perception is “Do you party?” If you do not, Afrobeta’s goal is to change that habit fast. And coming out of Miami, getting the party started is like saying you are going outside to get some sun.
Their club-scene antics, poppin’ beats, and electro pop is easy for you to dig in. It’s not the title track that makes you use a disco ball like an semi-automatic, although the Miami bass does make the booty shake like a circus act. But we get three versions of the song to instill it in our minds. The strong points of the EP is “Two Different Worlds” where Cuci Amador lets her vocal talent shine instead of spitting out words thinking she is Ke$ha as in the title track.
“As Long As You Like” is even better, bringing out the best in both Amador and Tony Smurphio’s ecstatic power rock and electro funk choruses, a pivotal moment that I hope is further explored on their full length, due to be released later this fall.
