Sometimes you do not need another deep conversation about love. Sometimes you just need to turn the music up, forget about the overthinking, and have a little fun. Envi Jordan’s latest single, WooHoo, understands the assignment.
Following Somebody To Love, which explored longing and loneliness, WooHoo flips the mood completely. This is Envi in full dance-pop mode, delivering a larger-than-life anthem built around synths, a driving kick drum, chaotic rises, and commanding vocals. It is the kind of track that arrives with one obvious instruction: stop thinking so much and move.
The fun really starts with the idea behind the song. WooHoo takes its name from the playful euphemism used for sex in The Sims games, giving the track a cheeky little wink right from the beginning. But underneath the humour is a very relatable attitude. Envi is singing from the perspective of someone who has stopped searching for a serious relationship and simply wants to enjoy the moment.
There is a certain freedom in that mindset. You can recognise that someone might be trouble, but if you are not looking for anything serious, why spend your summer stressing about it? That carefree energy runs through the entire song, turning WooHoo into an escape from the mental spiral of thinking too much about love, relationships, and everything that comes with them.
And honestly, that is where the track works particularly well. Dance music has always had a way of helping people reset, and Envi taps directly into that feeling. The pounding rhythm and energetic production give the song a sense of movement, while his powerful vocal presence keeps everything feeling larger than life.
It also fits naturally into Envi Jordan’s growing artistic identity. The Caribbean-American pop singer and songwriter, born in New York and now based in Seattle, combines upbeat dance-pop with emotionally driven storytelling. His music can draw from personal experiences as well as fantasy, while bringing a distinctly queer perspective to the songs.
That combination is important because WooHoo is not simply about having fun for the sake of it. There is a story and a particular emotional space behind the fun. After the loneliness explored in Somebody To Love, this song feels like the decision to put the search for love on pause and reclaim some enjoyment.
The visual side of the release promises to match that energy. Directed by Envi alongside Seattle filmmaker Jay Jackson, the WooHoo video was filmed around recognisable Seattle locations, including Pike Place. There is even a pool involved, despite Envi not being able to swim. Thankfully, a pink flamingo inflatable named Kevin came to the rescue and became part of both the shoot and the single artwork.
That playful attention to detail says a lot about the world Envi is creating around his music. He choreographed the dance routine himself and edited the video to make sure it matched his creative vision, continuing the hands-on approach seen with the Somebody To Love video.
Musically, his influences are easy to place within the broader pop tradition. Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna all form part of the artistic backdrop, and Envi’s focus on infectious hooks, driving beats and performance-ready music carries that sense of pop spectacle into his own work.
There is already plenty of momentum behind the project. Envi’s music has received radio support from KEXP, NPR’s KUOW and Seattle’s 107.7 The End, alongside international exposure across the US, UK, Canada, Australia and South Africa. His growing fanbase, known as the Dreamers, now has another track to dance to.
WooHoo will also feature on Envi’s upcoming self-titled debut album, Envi. With the album being developed for release in fall 2026, the single offers another glimpse into the colourful, energetic world he is building.
After the emotional weight of Somebody To Love, WooHoo feels like a deliberate change of pace. It is cheeky, energetic, and unapologetically focused on having a good time. Sometimes the best way to escape the torture chamber of overthinking is to stop searching for answers, press play, and let the beat take over.
