Vai's solo is still from another planet, he's always been my favorite guitarist since I was a kid, even way beforehand I've started studying music, it's incredible how he can merge even with such great musicians a bit away from "his genre". Zappa would be very proud of his once protegee, once more.

Jonah : “It’s a very dance-friendly song with lots of fun musical elements with Steve Vai ending the song with a crazy solo,” he added. “I thought to myself, this song needs the most epic, crazy, guitar-hero solo possible and there is only one person who could’ve delivered that: Steve Vai.” Yeah..fit perfectly!

Holy fuck… after following Steve Vai for the best part of 30 years he never ceases to surprise… what a fucking beast and legend… his solo just put all these new KZread guitar players on notice.

Unbelievable. I’m basically blown away by anything Dirty Loops, and Jonah, their harmonies cuts into my soul.

Wow this is so awesome, its like high level fusion with all those arrangements and chords, but super funky with a singer so normal people can like it, and then one of the best guitarists in the work floats in and does a beautiful jazz/rock solo. Next level!

Damn! How does Steve Vai keeps getting better?! He's like a good wine :)

One of the best songs in a very long time. Distincly groovy, pinnacle musicianship, ridiculous vocals, top class mixing, but home run of the year is Tobias Grenholm’s master Yoda bass playing! Tobias if you’re reading this, your craftsmanship on the fat ax is out of this world good! You’ve got your own style, but in my opinion you are funky like Mark King and Stuart Zender, groovy and tender like Victor Wooten, and filthy badass like Buddy Hankerson and Mark Adams. Keep those fingers warm bro!

Imagine being the guitarist Jesper. Sees "guitar solo" on the chart. Gets excited. They tell him they have a stunt guitar. Dejected, he asks who, finds out its Steve Vai..."you made the right choice" haha Out of this world solo. He is ridiculous innovative and original.

Jonah has this magical gift, like no other, to make complicated music sound sexy and radio friendly. I must repeat: like no other.

Thank you for letting the world hear what MUSIC sounds like! Each musician on this track has given a gift to us that too many are not appreciating!!!!

That's amazing! The bass in particular, the drums are great too

The way Steve Vai plays with so much emotion makes me honestly cry,not too many musicians can do that to me,usually (generally speaking) it's because of maybe a sad melody,song.But this happens to me when the phrasing,conviction,etc...are just so emotional, even in a happy song.Here is a perfect example.

How bad ass is this track, what an honor it must have been to work together with all of these amazing musicians! I'm so lucky that I got introduced to Dirty Loops by someone, because since then I just can't get enough... I'm literally obsessed! Love you man, cheers from The Netherlands.

That high voice gives the songs an incredible soft effect, you feel like you're floating. It's hard to play and sing it, but easy it consume. It's positive. And I love the layered tones. For me, the songs could only be from them.

Jonah ,Vai and Quincy?! omg… this is history

You were able to get that amazing enchanting Steve Vai guitar sound at the end of his solo. That’s only been on a few of his tracks and it’s super signature and awesome! Excellent work Jonah!

Outstanding musicians that bass Wow and of course the incredible Vai watched about 20 times now 😄 what a groove

Honestly I thought I had been over Vai for years then he does this solo! Man not expected at all from him at this point and shows how musically he’s a genius can deliver something completely unexpected.

Outstanding. Every single one of them. Really awesome they put Steve in there too. Such a fun song.

The ending note from the voice-run between 3:48 and 3:50 is so satisfying! Such a masterpiece again!

Simply incredible, Jonah has a chance to truly shine in this and show off his endless ability. I’m flawed.
