Alan Eberlein and Stephen Cornwell's new single, "Shimmy Shimmy Shake," is like a spark on the dance floor, light, fun, and hard to ignore. The first beat makes it clear what the song is trying to do. It's music that makes you want to move, and that smiles back at you.
The two of them lean into a rhythmic framework that is both catchy and welcoming. Handclaps add a communal energy to the groove, making the song feel like it's being played live in front of a crowd. It's the kind of detail that draws people in and makes them feel part of the rhythm rather than just watching. The bouncy base keeps things afloat, and the hook hits with a natural ease that sticks after the first listen.
"Shimmy Shimmy Shake" is especially interesting because of its playful feel. There's no pretending here, just a bold acceptance of fun. The groove doesn't rush, instead, it settles into a pocket that makes people want to relax, sway, and find their own way to move. It's an easy-to-listen-to song, but not a simple one. It has enough texture and rhythm to make you want to listen to it again and again.
This is the single that works well in places where people are together, like parties, playlists, and anywhere else where energy and connection are important. Eberlein and Cornwell have made something that feels real and social, a reminder that sometimes the best music is the kind that makes you want to dance. With "Shimmy Shimmy Shake," they've given us a bright, danceable song that seems perfect for happiness.
