Cheryl Lynn's 1983 hit "Encore" is suddenly coming back in style, thanks to a Baltimore-based dance group. T.T.S. posted a TikTok video of their impromptu street dance to the song, and viewers were blown away by the display of "Black Boy Joy." The song choice was praised by many, as the trio chose a classic upbeat soul song to show off their moves.
Soon enough, other TikTokers were recreating the dance and posting their own versions of the dance challenge. This led to a surge in popularity for the song, as streams on Spotify increased by over 30,000 in just 24 hours.
