Please Me - Cardi B, Bruno Mars



tempo: 67 bpm

bpm range: 65 bpm to 70 bpm

the dj's take: Songs like this remind me of Jurassic Park. You take the DNA of something extinct (like 90's r&b for the bedroom) to reproduce an accurate replica. Modern production with a throwback vibe - worth a spin on a pop night.

Could sound interesting going into the guitar intro for Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train.
