Review: "Secrets" by Keith Austin ft. Cuatro Cinco & Danny Polo

By Ben Banks

It’s no secret that Keith Austin, Cuatro Cinco, and Danny Polo have a hit on their hands with this new collaboration track ‘Secrets.’ The track opens with some beautiful riffs from Danny Polo, then Keith slides into the first verse with nicely applied autotune asking why his girl is hiding her phone. Cuatro brings the funk on the second verse with a flow so smooth and fits perfectly into the beat. Danny takes care of the hook/chorus and the rest of the track with his suave vocals wondering if he should risk it all and tell his secrets.
​
This whole track has such an infectious vibe. Literally, my first instinct was to start dancing when I played it. We’re still only one month into 2019 and I’ve already got a strong contender for song of the summer. Like Cuatro sings, it makes you “wanna roll through the city with the top down.” Despite whoever’s keeping secrets from someone else, this track eases the pain because it just makes you feel so good. I do really like the contrast between heavy subject matter playing out over such a funky instrumental. If you’re also feelin’ the groove of this collaboration; there’s absolutely no reason that you’ve gotta keep it a secret.
