Setting the tone with an intricate and immersive synthscape, David D’Angelo opens SQR DMNDS with depth and an emotive vocal performance with the prose, “Oh, tell me where you want it, we can go, if you feel like everyone should know, this is the kinda life worth waiting for…”
The opus expands into a luscious R&B meets funk hybrid sound with elements of hip-hop and incredible vocal performances featuring singer CAROLENA and rapper MayDay alongside the talented producer and multi-instrumentalist himself.
We learn that the song is designed to encourage the listener that “despite paying and struggle, there is always something worth showing up for.” We immediately connect with the authenticity of the prose, and the majestic sound design that we are fortunate to experience.
The creators want us to “trust the process”, and each of them brings a unique perspective to the track. David D’Angelo blends “g-funk-inspired hip-hop production, neo-soul piano and funky synth work in his sound”, whilst CAROLENA shares her soulful vibe, and MayDay showcases the “essence of Hip-Hop storytelling and the importance of staying real”. We learn that MayDay also previously collaborated with David D’Angelo on the song Priceless Commodity which has over 100k streams already!
We love what the trio are creating with SQR DMNDS – a cohesive tapestry of sound with a meaningful message. We have added the composition to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discographies of all three artists, and anticipate future releases!
