Rose Gray makes the floors of Dance 2025 red this summer with her sizzling new single “Wet & Wild.” “Wet & Wild” is a high-octane tribute to after-hours ecstasies, a thumping tease of her forthcoming full-length, Louder, Please, and if this is any indication, we’re in for a full-course rave on the new LP.
Soaked in the mesmerizing thump of acid house, “Wet & Wild” is an ode to neon-lit nights in NYC’s Soho, spiced with the glitzy residue of London’s underground scene. The beat throbs urgently, the synths swirling like city lights in motion, as Gray’s plush, confident vocals take “Wet & Wild” up to euphoric heights. It’s exhilarating, intoxicating, and completely immersive, always a push and pull.
As “Wet & Wild” builds, it pauses on the brink of blissful chaos, showering a drop that signifies the point at which the night feels genuinely off the ground. It’s a musical journey sweaty, dizzying, and impossible to resist. The sound is still raw and unfiltered, the kind of energy people would associate with the golden age of rave, but with a modern take that’s distinctly hers.
With “Wet & Wild,” Rose Gray is creating a movement. If this is any sign of what’s in store, Louder, Please will be a full-volume revolution.
