On March 28, 2025, James Taupo released his brand new single titled “Don’t You Lead Me On.” While going out and having fun can be the time of your life it can also be something that goes beyond just partying. “Don’t You Lead Me On” is about finding the right words to communicate those feelings that can be hard to get out at first. This single marks a notable milestone in Taupo’s musical career. As it blends very relatable lyrics with the genre of electronic dance music making it the perfect dance song at any event.
James Taupo’s debut single “Don’t You Lead Me On” exemplifies everything EDM has to offer. The track has such an energetic yet euphoric, catchy beat to it. I really enjoyed how the beat wasn’t the same throughout, you can clearly hear when it goes up and down in tone as the song moves closer to the end. You can really hear these changes towards the middle with lyrics like “Tell me to move on.” Paired with the tone of the song were his vocals which I found to be very graceful especially with the way he carried some of the end notes. Overall, this track is pretty relatable in the sense of its lyrics but also its vibe.
