Dangerous’ balance of African and Western styles of modern R’n’B capture Chrystel’s story of the je nais se quois in love, and how both sides aren’t necessarily playing the same game, yet jump into to the vibrations of enticing passion. As Dangerous rides, a wave of Zouk beat rhythms with Chrystel providing auditory treats from every angle, the Atlanta singer creates an insatiable track that’s going to be difficult to put down this summer.
