Dionne Blaize introducing the visuals for new single “Green Light”
Dionne Blaize is a singer whose style is hard to define and lock into a specific category. She loves to follow her instinct and base her music on different ideas and influences, ranging from the seamless energy of hip-hop, to the grooves of dance music and the appeal of pop. The charismatic Brooklyn-based artist recently released a brand new music video for a single titled “Green Light.” This song also features a spot-on collaboration with Richie Lou, who is performing in the video as the love interested in the plot.
The first thing I noticed about the video, is that its cinematic production is very suggestive and evocative. The dark, soothing tonal palette really enhances the listening experience, and adds a whole new layer to the actual songs, as well as the lyrics within.
In terms of production, both the music and the video couldn’t be more suitable for one another. While the video is very atmospheric and suggestive, the production is very clear, crisp and well-defined, with every element exactly where it should be. The rhythm is swinging and groovy, and the melodies are just present enough to allow the vocals to breath, without overpowering them. Last but not least, the vocals are really the cherry on top, with strong hooks and unforgettable dynamics.
