Dorian Delivers Masterful Tune ‘Reconnected’
Dorian’s latest single, Reconnected, is a vibrant testament to the singer and songwriter’s artistic versatility. With a seamless blend of experimentation and catchy dance-pop elements, the track delves into the romantic nuance of reunion with an infectious energy that’s both captivating and refreshing.
Vocal influences from classic Soul and R&B artists provide a rich, nostalgic undertone, yet Dorian infuses these elements with a modern twist. The result is a performance that feels both familiar and innovative. The track’s fluidity and emotional depth are complemented by a rising tempo and dynamic pace, reflecting Dorian’s penchant for creatively unpredictable choices that enhance the overall soundscape.
Reconnected is a sonic journey filled with cascading layers of vocals, shimmering keys, and playful tonal shifts. It navigates between the realms of EDM and the whimsical, family-friendly sounds reminiscent of past cinematic scores. This eclectic mix not only highlights Dorian’s fearless artistry but also underscores a genre-free approach to contemporary pop.
Overall, Reconnected is a bold exploration of modern pop, marked by its unique blend of energetic dance rhythms and nostalgic influences. Dorian’s artistry shines through in this track, opening up exciting new avenues in the pop genre while delivering a piece that’s both playful and profoundly expressive.
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
