Reconnected - Dorian (Pop) We welcome Dorian to the blog with a track he states is a departure from his normal sound, “Reconnected.” The gender-fluid artist calls his latest record "energetic and heartfelt”, and we agree. The longing is palpable in the vocal, a yearning for a reuniting with a past love. That yearning is emphasized with the atmospheric synths that paint melancholy and nostalgia into the track, while the fast and furious kick gives the urgency of Dorian’s desire. What results is an anthemic feel to the song, with tension building throughout. Overall, the song is straight pop. and reminds us a bit of the 2010s era of midtempo power pop ballads.
