...heart, Idol Tryouts is a superlative mixtape, bereft of filler and filled with killer tunes, all of which make perfect sense next to each other and fashion a satisfying whole. But it’s also a revelation that makes an irresistible case for the label’s unique aesthetics. The disc’s painstaking curation is a template for future movements—casual experiments, pristine dancefloor bombs...

They were filler, but when they stepped out in the musical number The Carioca, audiences knew that the gangly guy and the pert ingenue were an ideal match. Here was emotion expressed in motion, the finest blending of passion and technique. RKO would go on to pair Fred and Ginger in eight romances that would define how two bodies can flirt and fuse in dance...
