NikoCorlin Positions Herself As A Formidable Voice In Contemporary Music With ‘If You Can Dream It’
Danish singer-songwriter NikoCorlin makes a bold statement with her new EP, If You Can Dream It. This five-track collection is not just a showcase of her artistic evolution but a poignant exploration of ambition, vulnerability, and gender dynamics within the music industry. Following the success of her debut album, NikoCorlin has taken a daring step into the depths of her creativity, and the results are compelling.
Written during a transformative five-week stint in Brooklyn, the EP captures the essence of isolation and introspection. NikoCorlin’s decision to seclude herself in a small room reflects a desire to escape external noise and focus solely on her music. This isolation becomes a catalyst for raw, authentic songwriting that resonates deeply with listeners.
The lead single, “Late To The Party,” serves as a powerful critique of the pervasive sexism in the music scene, specifically within Denmark. With sharp lyrics and an infectious melody, it highlights the struggles women face while striving for recognition in a male-dominated industry. NikoCorlin’s fearless expression of these challenges invites listeners to engage with the important discourse surrounding gender inequality.
Musically, the EP strikes a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth. NikoCorlin’s use of layered synths and minimalist compositions creates a lush soundscape that allows her emotive vocals to take center stage. Songs like “Lonely in a Crowd” effectively convey feelings of isolation and confusion, while “Dancing Through Insecurities” uplifts with its more spirited, danceable vibe.
Thematically, If You Can Dream It encapsulates the dual nature of dreams—they can inspire and motivate but also bring disappointment when unfulfilled. NikoCorlin’s lyrics navigate this complexity, offering a relatable perspective that resonates with anyone who has dared to dream. The title track serves as an anthem of hope, encouraging listeners to pursue their aspirations despite the challenges they may face.
NikoCorlin’s artistry is marked by her willingness to confront difficult subjects while maintaining an approachable, relatable tone. Each song on this EP offers a different facet of her experience as a woman in the music industry, providing both introspective moments and calls for empowerment.
In conclusion, If You Can Dream It is a testament to NikoCorlin’s growth as an artist and a vital contribution to the conversation surrounding gender equality in music. With its combination of heartfelt songwriting, innovative production, and compelling themes, this EP is sure to resonate with audiences and affirm NikoCorlin’s position as a formidable voice in contemporary music.
Dmillyyy kicked off the month of love with the lead single, “Balance.” “Balance” was Dmillyyy’s first song of the year. The record served as a teaser for his new EP, Cupid Pack, which was released on Valentine’s Day. Cupid Pack is a five-track EP that dives into the intricacies of love. The EP is an eclectic body of work as it utilizes various genres of music, such as Alternative R&B, Melodic Rap, and Reggaeton.
Cupid Pack starts off with the song, “Thunderstruck.” The track is a record that features a wavy beat and Dmillyyy’s smooth flow. The sound is reminiscent of Jaden. The next track, “Balance,” is a fan favorite and for good reason. “Balance” has a bouncy beat that makes listeners want to groove. The record has a Drake feel to it. The catchy hook reels you in immediately. Dmillyyy cleverly sprinkles in some Spanish lyrics, which are a prelude to the third track on the EP. “Q.M. Interludio” follows “Balance.” The Latin Music interlude showcases the versatility that Dmillyyy possesses. The penultimate track, “WYGD,” is a downtempo, love song that is enchanting. The tune has a sample that blends well with the theme of the song. “WYGD” sets up the EP’s closer as “Madness” is another slow jam. “Madness” is the perfect finale. The sensual track embodies passion and love.
The EP’s introspective/extrospective take on love provides all listeners with songs that resonate with them. Although each song has its own flavor and unique sound, they still connect and carry a cohesive message. “Cupid Pack is an image painted to describe different emotions that may arise for particular love interests.” Dmillyyy continues: “Sometimes it isn’t that serious and just the feeling that you want to cherish. Sometimes the other’s existence makes you want to question everything and reflect back on your own life. Either way, both parties are living in the moment and letting that lead the way.” Cupid Pack is only the beginning as Dmillyyy has much in store for the year. While waiting for his next masterpiece, be sure to show love to the immaculate EP that is Cupid Pack.
