A word used to group songs sung to strict tempo at a faster pace than easy-beats.

Uptempo (sometimes UpTempo, up-tempo or up tempo) is an umbrella term for a quick-paced electronic music style. Other than for example Downtempo, Uptempo is usually intended more for dancing than relaxing and socializing, as most releases are produced for the dance floor. Rather than being a coherent genre, this term generally refers to the tempo (BPM) of the music rather than musical style or composition - since DJs mix together records with similar tempos, it is often necessary for them to delineate between slower and faster music.
