Kris James – The Way You Move (2022)

Are you yearning for the perfect summer love anthem that brings a hit of disco to a blast of funk? Well, this is exactly what Kris James is pumping into our ears with his single ‘The Way You Move’. Packed with danceable energy, the single sprinkles some 80s synth-pop sounds on a bed of bubbling feel-good vibes that make you want to crank up the volume and dance like mad.

You can feel the fun James had creating this track woven into each note that this talented and experienced performer infuses with addictive energy. Leading up to not only his second album, but a supporting spot on Will Young’s ’20 Years Tour’, the single is sure to be your soundtrack to the summer. When not making extremely danceable music, James founded Amanzzo, a luxury sustainable menswear brand that uses recycled and repurposed materials to create the collection.



‘The Way You Move’ jitters to life with a sparkling opening that doesn’t give you any time to adjust to the summer energy of the track. From the first note, the melody is packed with summer dance vibes. There is a heat to the sound that weaves around beats that grab hold of your muscles and force them to move to the rhythm. There is a light kaleidoscopic feeling to the melody that fills your senses with bursts of colourful light, enhancing the moving vibes. While the melody is packed with the undeniable urge to dance, there are moments when everything closes in for a more intimate touch. This shimmers into a neon flow that transports you directly to the dancefloor where you move to the rhythm with someone you like.

As the melody grabs you by the hand and tugs you onto the dancefloor, James’ vocals shine with their own leading light. His performance has a touch of vocal dance mixed with some indie pop. It is an extremely catchy combination that is sure to get you moving as much as the melody does. Through his shining performance, he pulls you into a connection with someone, packed with some summer party vibes. While there is a smooth pop slide to this performance, there is a building dance flow that swirls into your senses and overtakes everything. The chorus is super catchy and you may get it stuck in your head for a long time after the track ends.

Filling you with the urge to hit the dancefloor, Kris James packs ‘The Way You Move’ with dance energy injected into your veins through his smooth vocal performance. The melody brings a neon light to your senses as the beats lead you onto the dancefloor. His performance shines on its own as he draws you into a connection with someone and furthers the feel-good dance vibes.
