Guilty-pleasure party pop feels like a dying art form in the pool of sanitised posturing we are calling modern music, but Ricky Leroy is keeping absurdity alive with his latest single, Feiern Vereint. Born and raised in the USA, Leroy brings rodeo energy and an honest life force into the German Partyschlager scene, giving each one of his hits a personality that refuses tasteful restraint.
Carrying that unmistakable classic 90s Eurodance beat and infectiously cheeky vocals that spill hype at every turn, Feiern Vereint introduces splinters of modern production to the genre while preserving the bubblegum Europop sweetness. The result is shamelessly kinetic, festival-ready and engineered for communal release; it’s the kind of track that understands pleasure as a full-contact sport.
After early songs unexpectedly lit up a party, Leroy’s project moved from novelty to a serious prospect through Shooter Promotions, producers, labels and a creative link-up with star producer Stefan Vogel. Together, they created his ten-track debut album, Hier Geht die Party Ab!, a record built for singing along, dancing hard and surrendering to collective escalation.
Feiern Vereint sits perfectly inside that mission. Ideally, you will hear it with a beer in your hand, surrounded by raised arms at Malle, clubs, festivals, après-ski or any room allergic to self-seriousness.
Feiern Vereint is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
