SUPPORT FOR DL
“DL has been riding high on a wave of praise and accolades and deservedly so.”
Tone Deaf (AUS)
“Delivering chilled Hip-Hop injected with a strong blend of soulful R&B and Pop, Melbourne-based DL’s distinctive melodic rasp and playful wordplay has cemented his place as one of Australia’s most exciting and emerging artists.”
I Am Hip Hop (UK)
Melbourne-based rap artist DL returns with his latest heartening single ‘LOVE’ featuring ARIA nominated singer Nathaniel. The Nu-soul / Pop crossover was produced by SB90, and mixed by Charles Daly (Amy Shark, Allday, Mallrat).
This uplifting banger is jam packed with good vibes & infectious hooks. The elusive electric piano, punchy synth chords & imperious beat pave the way for DL’s crafty flow & the suave vocals of Nathaniel; providing an elevated melody over an effervescent chorus that bursts with bright production and electronics. The glowing candidness of the song is a nod to its romantic message.
DL talks about the meaning behind ‘LOVE’ ft. Nathaniel:
“‘LOVE’ is a song I wrote about a woman and the feels I got even before meeting her. There was just that something about her; and yeah, we ended up walking down the aisle together, and we’ve created two beautiful daughters since. They’ve straight up given ‘LOVE’ more than one definition. This song is celebrating all of it. I’m legitimately thrilled and so proud to share it.”
Previous releases have seen praise from online blogs Tone Deaf and I Am Hip Hop (UK). DL has been heavily supported by New Zealand’s largest urban radio station Mai FM, along with the likes of Radio Adelaide, PBS FM and KISS FM, where his single ‘No Time For Love’ ft. Sammie charted in their December Top 10.
Throughout his career, DL has collaborated with established artists Guy Sebastian and Sammie. In the live arena, he has shared the stage with the likes of Keri Hilson, Bobby Valentino, Next and Chris Sebastian.
In the coming weeks, DL will reveal an accompanying live acoustic video for ‘LOVE’ ft. Nathaniel.
‘LOVE’ ft. Nathaniel will be available worldwide on Friday May 28
