By now you may have spotted that we featured Dorian for his cinematic music video and emotive single, Reign Love, so we were very excited to hear his brand new single, Proud!
Opening with a pulsating bass-line and textured add libs with a rising synth, Dorian opens Proud with atmospheric and romantic vocals and the lyrics, “It’s so crazy, baby, when I look into your eyes, I’m reminded of the times we shared so near and dear…”
The opus expands with a synth driven alternative pop energy, which has us mesmerized with production intricacies, as Dorian takes us charming journey of love and the human condition.
Blending pop, soul and R&B with elements of trap to create his sound, we cannot get the chorus hook out of our heads. Dorian sings, “I’m so proud of us, I’m so proud of us…”, as he channels authentic love energy in this ode to his muse.
Proud is the newest single from Dorian’s brand new album The Arrival, which is out now. We appreciate the fun, lighthearted, yet soulful pop energy of the song, filled with lots of energy and bright harmonies, although juxtaposed with quite a cinematic and moody soundscape.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Dorian has deemed himself a dreamer and believer in the impossible. He boldly, authentically, and passionately pours himself into his songwriting, believing that sharing his story can help those who can resonate with his music and life journey.
We have added Proud to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we stream Dorian’s wider discography including his new album, The Arrival: Dream World Pt. 2.
