Safe - Dominique Ilie (R&B) Dominique Ilie is serving us some much needed classic R&B vibes with latest single, “Safe.” Beginning with a dreamy guitar, it quickly gives way to a punchy, crisp, industrial feeling percussion, while also making room for a stellar vocal performance by Dominique. This artist is a crooner, a resonant baritone to start before easily slipping and sliding up and down those scales with expert precision. Ginuwine, Usher and Chris Brown are conjured by his honey dipped vocals that carry an otherwise minimalist percussion. All in all, with a low key vibe and buttery leads, “Safe” is quite the groove.

Best Lyric: “You make me feel safe, don’t throw my love away.”
