Senior Dunce returns with a thumping declaration of primal liberation in the infectious new single “Bestial,” a funky house dance track bursting with vitality, sonic flair, and a touch of existential truth. Featuring the soulful firepower of California-based vocalist Cheshy, and supported by the animated sub-vocals of Gimpado, “Bestial” is a rhythmic manifesto about owning our instincts and shrugging off shame.
From the moment the beat kicks in, “Bestial” announces itself with shimmering synths and pulse-racing percussion that builds a joyous, sweat-slicked dancefloor vibe. Cheshy’s thick, rich voice is the soul of the track. It’s full of heart as she belts with empowering vibrato, inviting us to embrace the animal within. Her powerhouse delivery rises above a backdrop of sparkly production and stomping beats, while high, ghostly harmonies swirl beneath her in a euphoric cloud. Gimpado punctuates the party with primal shouts—“Ah! Hoo!” and playful chants—adding just the right dose of mischief and urgency to this otherwise blissed-out groove.
Lyrically, the track is a bold embrace of humanity’s contradictions. Rather than deny our flaws and past cruelty, it urges us to acknowledge our bestial roots—not to excuse our nature, but to reclaim freedom from shame. She sings, “Say it loud, I’m bestial” and “It is essential,” throwing us a rallying cry for authenticity, set to an irresistible dance beat.
The Extended Mix stretches out this catharsis even further, beginning with an ambient wolf howl that echoes across a more spacious, chilled opening before building back into the same propulsive fire as the original.
“Bestial” is a fearless celebration of dance, freedom, and unapologetic selfhood from Senior Dunce that howls with purpose and pulses with power.
