The electro-pop artist Dorian, from the DC/Maryland area, has returned with a new track, "Reconnected (Dream Mix)." The song is a remix, and then it's also a musical history milestone, a vibrant, danceable piece of music in celebration of strength.
"Reconnected (Dream Mix)" is one of those holdovers from when Dorian was enduring a significant amount of personal strife, an unplanned break due to a bad Achilles injury. He refuses to be defined by that setback, instead, he has used it as fuel. Every beat, every melody, and all the rhythm in this "Dream Mix" reflect that journey of struggle, moments of fear, and ultimately the joy of rediscovery. The result is a remix that sounds so good, so catchy, and so full of feels.
"Dream Mix" is perky, colorful, and instantly accessible. But beneath all the sparklies, there's a reason. With Dorian, the sense of party that colors so much of his sound is essential to him, but he also puts just enough gravity behind the song to make it something more than just a dance track. It's electro-pop with a pulse, and it has style and candor that set him apart in an oversaturated music landscape.
What distinguishes this release is the way Dorian's own misery becomes a soundscape that feels lifted and universal. His knack for taking you on a ride that provokes thought but also feels good is evidence of how much he's grown as an artist who understands the power of music to move one's body and speak to one's spirit. With "Reconnected (Dream Mix)," Dorian has confirmed once again that he's one of the most alluring new voices in electro-pop.
