This song will tattoo itself onto your brain – Houston Bean's “PULSING.” There is something familiar about its emo-tinged electropop with a Eurodance influence, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. With its synth-driven production and infectious techno hook serving as the spine of the track, “PULSING” doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel but certainly knows how to keep it spinning.
Beneath its energetic rhythm lies a sense of loneliness, carried by a female vocalist whose breathy, expressive delivery is both sharp and innocent. It's an intriguing contrast: emotionally vulnerable lyrics wrapped in a club-ready arrangement. While the music keeps bodies moving, the vocals give the track its emotional pulse.
