Looks like the 2010s is finally getting the disco queen it sorely needs in Alex Newell, the breakout star from cult favourite TV phenomenon Glee.

If we are allowed to use only one word to describe the new emvee by the Disco Queen du jour it has to be: FIERCE. Already well-known for his knife-sharp sassiness and powerhouse vocals thanks to Glee, this new single only further takes it to town what this multi-talented star could do – the MNEK produced single is directed by the singer himself. And guess what? The video stars another reality show breakout star: the charming Nyle DiMarco of ANTM fame.

The track itself is basically self-explanatory via its lyrics, which can be summarised as 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.' And at the brunt of Alex's fury is none other than the doe-eyed Nyle who heaven knows has done something so unforgivable that even his charm couldn't save him. The diva also gives us major #squadgoal feels throughout, as the gang have a party in ex-boyfriend Nyle's place without inviting him (haha), and we can't help but dance along to the infectious beat as he shreds the song vocally, taking it to another level.

P/s: He must have an amazing clean-up crew though coz they left the place (almost) spotless after the party!

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
