A new single Dance Away is a follow-up to the studiolive recording
Nothing Can Stop My Spirit (cd, dvd and LP, Groovy Records) that was
released in September 2016.
Dance Away is an uplifting uptempo funk tune and it encourages its
listeners to forget about their worries and frustrations and to dance
them away.
Dance Away is composed and arranged by the band´s leader, singer,
keyboard player and trumpeter Mikko Pettinen. The lyrics are written by
Happy People´s background singer Jonnu Heikkilä.
Mikko Pettinen says that Dance Away was inspired by Earth, Wind & Fire,
Michael Jackson, Prince, Bruno Mars and Snarky Puppy, but it still sounds
like Happy People.
