I’m not familiar with dance hall, so you’re probably right (looking it up now, looks like afrobeats originated after dancehall and has dancehall elements) Very cool, thank you for the info!

Thanks for the great episode + review. I was surprised that you guys characterized "Right Hand Girl" as Afrobeats as to me it's clearly Dancehall through-and-through. "Wine ya body" is a ubiquitous phrase in Jamaican music and one of the writers (Taneisha Jackson) is a Jamaican songwriter. I think it's a really beautiful cross-cultural combination and the dance break that Momo + Nayeon did during the Lollapalooza show (they were even kind of krumping) was an amazing addendum to it.
