Dorian is back with his latest release, Reconnected! After almost two years of a musical hiatus, following his creatively active year, 2022, Reconnected marks the rising pop-artist’s come back to his fans, bringing a captivating and fresh sound. Swooping us all with his unique blend of genres and genuinely heartfelt lyrics.
Reconnected primarily explores the theme of reconnection, especially with a loved one. It brilliantly portrays the wonderings, hopeful confusion, and the positive and optimistic attitude that we sometimes find ourselves acting upon when we are so eager and excited about reconnecting with an old connection, and maybe try to make things work once again. Time surely makes us either forget the reasons why we ended things, or just helps us realize that whichever reasons why we broke up, they are simply not worth us losing the other person. Either ways, our attitudes to the idea of reconnection reflects a new phase of development in our character. Which is something that is absolutely evident in Dorian’s Reconnected.
The artist’s sound is evidently developing. Bringing us an incredibly unique and genuine blend of vibrant, energetic dance-focused alternative R&B release. Right from the guitar intro, you are immediately taken by the positive, dancy, and hopeful vibe, followed by a beautiful transition into the verse with his mesmerizing vocals which have a tone that really emphasizes the authenticity of his lyrics and overall sound.
The vocal layering of the chorus preceding the bridge greatly emphasizes this dreamy and hopeful emotional experience of the artist’s yearning for reconnection. It is an incredible embodiment of such an emotional journey; and with the smooth transition into the bridge, which is relatively more chill and slower in terms of music, adds a contrast that is absolutely effective in conveying a sense of realism and groundedness all mixed up still with this hopeful and genuine feel.
Reconnected is such a genuine and refreshing release. It is not only a statement of Dorian’s artistic versatility and uniqueness of sound, but also a statement about his new era of connecting with a new side of his musical character, which leaves us absolutely eager and excited to listen to what is coming next!
