Raphi - Who Told You?

Who told Raphi she was allowed to keep making tracks this immediate? Because the hits keep coming, and Who Told You? is another one that you will be humming before it is even halfway done. She is Spinnin’ Records’ current pet project, fresh off a single with Armand Van Helden of all people, and she has figured out something a lot of producers twice her age still have not: how to write a hook that refuses to leave. This one rides a vocal that flips between sweet and taunting, the title turned into a sing-along dare over a punchy, bass-forward dance beat. It is radio-ready in the best sense, big and bright and built for a crowd to shout back, with just enough low-end bite to keep it from floating off into pure pop. Dance-pop this shameless is easy to wave away and genuinely hard to get unstuck once it is in, and this one is firmly the second kind. She recently threw a rave in a Hackney dry cleaners, which tells you she still thinks this is meant to be fun. It shows.
