Mind the Gap says “I need a Hero” in their new single, but it’s not a sample nor an interpolation of Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For a Hero.” Instead, “Hero” is a pulsating electro-pop tune for today’s generation constantly yearning for a solid beat, a sparkling synth riff and a go-to chorus. Lead vocalist Greg Cahn sings out “holding on / holding on to what we’ve got / but it’s never enough,” a phrase that won’t take long to find its way to those who like to shout it out on the dance floor. Shimmy, confess something, lose it, do whatever it is that you do in your dancing shoes now. “Hero” is off of Mind the Gap’s forthcoming EP “Youth.”
