The Way That You Move is an upbeat, dance-driven R&B/pop track about being drawn back to someone you have a history with, despite trying to resist those feelings. The song follows the story of unexpectedly reconnecting with a past romantic interest in a familiar place, where seeing her dance brings back memories of their time together. Her movement, presence and the chemistry they once shared make it difficult to ignore the attraction and emotions that are still there.
The inspiration behind the track came from wanting to bring dance and music together as forms of expression and connection, while incorporating a storyline that gives the song its own identity. I wanted to capture that feeling of two people connecting through movement, where sometimes a look or the way someone dances can communicate more than words. I was also drawn to the nostalgic feel of old-school R&B love stories, bringing that romantic storytelling element into a modern R&B/pop sound.
The track was recorded at Sheph Studios in Moorebank, Sydney, combining soulful influences with modern production to create something energetic, catchy and made to move to.
About the Artist
I’m Shawn Carter, an alternative R&B/pop artist based in Sydney, Australia. I’ve been making music for the past seven years, developing my sound through home studio experimentation, collaborations with Sydney-based studios and a genuine passion for performance.
My sound blends contemporary R&B, pop and soul, bringing together infectious melodies, soulful vocals, modern production and influences from both old-school and contemporary sounds. I love creating music that makes people feel something, but also makes them want to move.
Outside of music, I’ve been a dedicated dancer since 2019 and was part of a professional competition crew that achieved #1 in Australia and #11 worldwide in the Hip Hop Megacrew division. Dance has had a huge influence on my musical identity, shaping the way I approach my music, visuals and live performances. I see music and movement as two things that naturally belong together, and I aim to bring that energy into everything I create.
Following the release of my debut single Freestyle With Me, which gained recognition on Australian independent radio charts and international radio, I’m continuing to build my presence as an emerging Australian artist. My goal is to create music, performances and visual experiences that connect with people and leave a lasting impression.
