At any given point during a night at the club, you'll only find a fraction of the clientele actually dancing, while the rest order drinks and chat in the periphery. Unless the DJ is spinning that song - you know, that one jam that makes everyone drop what ever they're doing and rush out onto the floor. With his debut single, "Calling All Hearts," Booth newcomer DJ Cassidy was clearly angling to write that song. On this high-energy cut, the Columbia Records signee's electrifying disco boardwork bangs in the back as Grammy nominee Robin Thicke and British pop hitmaker Jessie J exercise their powers of persuasion, urging couples to get a little bit closer and wallflowers to abandon their positions on the sidelines.
Cassidy's vibrant new video for his feel good upbeat party anthem, "Calling All Hearts" is a disco inspired Dance hit with some R&B flavor and is about to be a R&B dance party! The exuberant retro song pays tribute to the golden era of Club music, and like the rest of Cassidy's upcoming debut LP "Paradise Royale," due in May, it honors the disco era of late '70s and early '80s by purposely avoiding modern studio techniques like sampling and recycling established material. "Four years ago, I set out on a mission to bring the greatest and most universal dance music of all time back to the airwaves, back to nightlife, back to the dance floor," Cassidy told Rolling Stone.
The X-directed video was shot in London and is equally epic affair, which begins and ends with a storyline that features Cassidy and a girlfriend. Initially she leaves him after forcing him to make a difficult decision, but after Cassidy enters a hat store and gets a complimentary hat, she changes her tune and they reunite. The celebrity DJ gets dumped by his girl in the black-and-white intro before he's whisked away to a pink soundstage after buying a magical hat. It's like 'The Wizard Of Oz' with a disco soundtrack!
Aiding in dancing away Cassidy's pain are pals Jessie J and Thicke, not to mention a 13-piece band in preppy sweaters jamming on a 52 square-foot flamingo-pink lacquer heart-shaped "Paradise Royal" stage, surrounded by flamboyant pink flamingos and palm trees, while Cassidy rocks the CDJ's in a lime green tuxedo jacket and his signature 1920's boater hat. The jubilant song bounds along on a pop-funk-disco euphoria, despite all the hangdog mugging that opened the video. That's because, much like chewing gum and walking, it's almost impossible to dance and mope at the same time. Watch the candy-colored visual below.
