Upon listening to Dante’s latest effort, we couldn’t help noticing the early millennia references – that Timbaland style, Rihanna-powered charts RnB flavourings that used to dominate the music scene back in the day. ‘Filthy’ possesses some of that very same raw hip-hop character: metal-like percussions, tribal tones, and a strong luscious and sensual attitude. Of course, it’s all drenched in more contemporary elements, such as gritty synthesisers and light textures.
Like what you hear? Then you should get to know Nicholas Dante more in detail. Emerging from New York, the young newcomer has been championing an unapologetic, fierce and queer outlook on his artistry, building a strong audience on social media with almost 15k followers across all platforms. Debuting earlier this year, Dante looks set on a glorious career. The early signs are here already, with the project’s streaming count rising rapidly.
Lyrically, ‘Filthy’ seeks to connect to ‘Eyes Wide Shut’, Kubrick’s legendary movie, here used to build a fictional universe where all sort of naughty things happens at night. Dante’s vocals work wonders in helping this sleazy concept reach the listener. Oscillating between singing and spoken word, the American talent is a force to be reckoned with.
