Release and promotion

[edit]

On 15 March 2020, S-X tweeted, "My next song is called 'dangerous'".[1] On 5 September 2020, S-X revealed the song's cover art and release date and the song was made available to pre-order on digital download services and pre-save on streaming services.[2][3] "Dangerous" was released for digital download and streaming by Eterno Music and Universal on 18 September 2020. It was S-X's first release through the record label after signing with them in May 2020.[4] S-X appeared on both the CBBC television show The Playlist and the Sky One television show Soccer AM to promote the song.[5][6][7]

Critical reception

[edit]

GRM Daily wrote, "[S-X] showcases his faultless vocals over a melodic and instantaneous beat and it's safe to say that his first release in over 8 months is a certified hit."[8] Sam Rasmin of Creative Generation UK wrote, "S-X has delivered yet another incredible vocal performance, which matched with a gripping instrumental, makes for an exciting new release."[9] Rock 'N' Load Magazine wrote, "S-X is leading us out of summer with an undeniable track, which is set to be a hit."[10] 1883 Magazine acclaimed that "S-X more than proven himself as a confident and powerful artist".[11]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Dangerous" premiered on S-X's YouTube channel on 18 September 2020.[12] The video was co-directed by Troy Roscoe and Danyl Goodall. 1883 Magazine wrote, "In the music video, S-X finds himself in a multi-dimensional world of haunted mansions with a witchy-like cult, a dinner gathering full of deranged guests, and a spider that looks eerily familiar to S-X. With a Stranger Things-esque theme throughout the music video, it's clear that the inspiration behind 'Dangerous' is the danger that comes when you entangle love with deceit."[11] The video features a cameo appearance from British YouTuber and rapper KSI. A behind-the-scenes video of the music video shoot was released to S-X's YouTube channel on 29 September 2020.[13]
