Man. 2022 has been the year of unexpected stuff coming back into pop culture. Baggy clothes, Air Jordan 2s, the Tootsie Roll. We’re living in wild times, y’all.
Now, the “oontz, oontz” music is back in full effect, too.
Y’all know what I’m talking about. House music. Club music. The music that sounds like somebody just added a bunch of synths and some piano keys to your heartbeat after you just had a mean cardio session at the gym for the first time in 3 months.
That’s what our music this summer is going to sound like thanks to Beyoncé and Drake. The two pop stars dropped music over the last few days featuring that signature sound and it was pretty shocking.
Drake dropped an entire album called Honestly, Nevermind featuring 13 tracks of all the oontz.

Then, heading into Tuesday night, Beyoncé dropped a new single called “Break My Soul” from her new album coming in late July. The vibes were immaculate. It featured that oontz with some signature New Orleans bounce and even had a Big Freedia feature.

Like I said, immaculate. Between these two powerhouses, this different sound had everyone hyped.
Folks liked Beyoncé’s bounce a little bit (a lot) more, but the point still stands. The oontz is here for the summer and we’re all here for it.
