Last time we featured Dom Malin, we described him as “a nuanced and sensible songwriter, crafting soothing and relatable gems with the help of his trusted guitar”. Through a steady stream of friendly and honest releases, he’s managed to build quite a reputation, particularly flourishing on his charming and inspiring songwriting style. Now, Malin returns with ‘Fever’, a track that feels decisively more uplifting than some of the project’s recent material.
The perfect pairing for the tail-end of summer, the record builds on a sleazy and light pop sound, drenched in indie and folk references. Boasting a catchy and memorable chorus, ‘Fever’ keeps it simple, giving extreme value to the vocal melody and to Malin’s confident delivery. It’s good to be able to appreciate a different side of his artistry. Leaving folk guitars at home, Dom keeps the pace up with a fuller, band-powered sonic tapestry.
Lyrically, ‘Fever’ dances around “the intoxicating pull of attraction and desire”, something that makes sense with the joyous and feel-good character the track so proudly exudes. Give it a chance, you won’t regret it.
