Inspired by artists like Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake, Wanna Dance indeed has an updated *NSYNC kind of sound. Synth-driven, with Joshua Pearlstein’s spot-on (falsetto) vocal delivery around every corner, it’s funky, poppy and has a surprising, no holds barred electronic solo. A tune with ‘hit’ written all over it.

Wanna Dance by Joshua Pearlstein is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
