Mz Worthy Kicks Off Pride Month With Heart-Pumping House Single, “Feel It”
Dirtybird cofounder Mz Worthy has returned this summer with a new house anthem, “Feel It.” Corresponding with her first Pride Month performance in Los Angeles, the track dropped on June 3rd via Club Sweat. “Feel It” is a four-on-the-floor filler, overlaid with an infectious, singalong refrain that erupts into a dark and dirty drop. Twinkling arpeggios thrum above a shimmering synth soundscape before the arrangement’s punchy snares fire it off it into each of its two breaks. “I hope while you’re listening you can just let go of it all and be your true self,” Mz Worthy said in a press release.
