~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

“33” is a solid 7-track project crafted by the talented artist, Dorian, which includes 3 original tracks alongside their acapella versions, as well as the acapella version of “Reign Love”. The EP kicks off with the upbeat and euphoric “Do Ya”, which seamlessly blends elements of euro dance and trance music with rich vocals that are brimming with improvisational character. One of the standout moments of this track is the key change that occurs around the 3rd minute, which adds an extra layer of intrigue to the already danceable sound. 

Moving on to “Blast Off”, Dorian showcases his versatility by infusing the energetic groove with vibrant drill elements, without sacrificing the pop sensibility that runs through the EP. As with the previous track, the vocals take center stage and are delivered with epic flair.

“Notice Me” provides a refreshing change of pace as the most mellow track on the EP. The song features a rich dynamic range, with R&B infused verses that give way to a more pop rock-oriented ballad during the chorus.

Lastly, the acapella versions of each track serve as an invitation for producers to create their own unique remixes. So, if you’re a producer on the hunt for inspiration, give these tracks a listen and who knows, you may just find what you’ve been searching for!

Wowashwow – Class Enrollment [Interview]

~ Admin ~ Leave a comment

Describe your sound in 3 words

BOLD, UNAPOLOGETIC, FLUID

What was the inspiration behind your latest single, “Class Enrollment”?

This was birthed from an uncomfortable text conversation, that made me realize my value and self worth as a woman.

What drew you to the theatrical aspect of music, and how do you incorporate that into your performances?

Ha! Hunty chile I am the product of years of theater training. I attending a performing arts high school in south jersey (SNJPAand I spent many childhood summers in an intense training camp held by Freedom Theater in Philly. It was an all black theater company that trained many greats such as Oprah, Denzel Washington to name a few.

Which is your most personal and honest lyric?

I do this for my grandma who use to work in the fields. Sun up to sundown picking green beans until her hands couldn’t muthafuckin feel”
Song: Bernice Album: I’m A Hashole

What is the biggest challenge you have faced as an artist so far?

being an independent artist in the sea of record label giants is tough. But with the blessing of an amazing team, I’m able to navigate through everything.

How do you balance the need to create music that is both commercially viable and artistically authentic?

I’ve stopped worrying about what is commercially viable. Because honestly, what does that even mean anyway? I make music that makes you want to stomp ya foot. The hooks I write are infectious af and will absolutely get stuck in your head. So to me, that’s commercial. But also, I’m still true to me, because who else am I going to be?

When was the last time you danced?

I’m dancing right now during this interview, haha.

Thank you!
