Lemon Tart by Dilip is one of those songs which borrow elements from various genres. Whereas the verses feel slow and remind me of RnB, the chorus has a nice rock tone on the guitar. I love how the vocals were consistent but at the same time malleable enough to fit both these styles.
After the second chorus, there was a sudden transition into a bridge that had a different melody and style, and as it progressed it somehow managed to merge into the chorus one last time. I was stunned by how this change didn’t affect the chorus melody but rather made it very rich.
While most young singer-songwriters like to play it safe and use conventional song structures nowadays, what we are presented with here was a lot more daring and creative. I feel like Dilip can bridge the gap between RnB and Rock and I would love to hear a full record where he presents more pieces of that sort.
