Music Review - ‘Dance the Part’ by Judah Kelley
Loving the chalk vibes on the artwork for the single of Dance the Part! Unsure who curated the artwork for this, however they did a fantastic job.
Well, I’m definitely a little late to the table with this review, however, I recently heard this song that was released in April and knew that it had to be reviewed on Welcome to the Gig!
While Judah hasn’t yet racked up a whole lot of monthly listeners on Spotify, she is already serving up dishes of beautifully smooth tracks that show off her vocals in all aspects.

Having performed both with national and international artists, this lady is about to set the fire and show us what the music world for females is going to look like in years to come.
Dance the Part gives me the vibe of the movie, Anastasia, which I watched on repeat as a kid and looked up to the main character as much as a child can look up to a cartoon. Judah’s voice makes you feel that you’re in that setting - wandering the streets of Paris, dancing and singing, letting your voice steal the show. A magical feeling.

What I love about the track is that it opens with a few seconds of luxurious piano and for some reason or another, adding a piano into the song makes it all the more amazing than it already is. As soon as Judah starts to sing, you know that the song is going to be a special one.
Dance the Part tugs at the heartstrings with soulful lyrics such as the opening line, sung with true passion and grace -
“broken hearts still love, mending what was lost, breathe into the lungs of a hopeful frightened one”

Judah has the potential to be New Zealand’s answer to Lea Michele musically - both powerhouse females who are setting out to do what they do best and prove it to the world with their incredible releases.

An absolutely stunning song that you need to add to your playlist for those days where you just need to sit and think. I highly recommend and love this song.
Keep up the amazing work, Judah! Can’t wait to see your next move.
