Today is the 9th time we've picked a song from Dom Malin. While some artists tread familiar paths, Dom Malin consistently offers a fresh and exhilarating experience with each new release, making it feel like we're encountering a brand-new artist each time! His creativity and his sense of musical reinvention are always surprising.
Dom Malin has previously led us down emotional songs with tunes like "All I Know" (grab your tissues), he also has taken us on a journey with "South America" and made us sing with "Cold Feet" (warmed-up vocal cords required), filled our mouth with "Mmmmmm" with "Wake Up" and yanked our heartstrings with "Yesterday's Love". Today, however, he wants to see us shake it on the dance floor with "Fever"!
The title "Fever" might evoke nostalgia for music aficionados, reminding them of Kylie Minogue's iconic 2001 album, featuring the hit "Can't Get You Out of My Head." It's a musical era many of us remember, led by funky, disco sounds with a mix of retro and modern production elements. Now, 22 years later, we find ourselves discovering Dom Malin's latest single and it's a fresh and exhilarating experience akin to a musical time machine.
As we've mentioned before, Dom Malin possesses a gift for crafting unforgettable and addictive melodies. "Fever" is another irresistible dance anthem that will echo in your mind for hours, if not days on end.
Ever had a crush so intense that it became your personal 24/7 thought DJ? If you've been there, this song is your musical soulmate.
In this track, Malin ventures into new territories, incorporating instruments like electric guitar and synthesizer. The synthesizer, in particular, gives a kind of nostalgia, (like the warm tones of a jukebox playing Genesis on repeat in my parents' bar when I was a three-year-old). It's a great mix of nostalgia and excitement, like a return to the past itself, guided by Malin's techniques that seem to transport listeners across decades.
Yet again, Malin's songwriting prowess shines through every single line! His penchant for infectious hooks and addictive motifs creates an insatiable craving for repeated listens.
"Hot desert on a winter's night", these lyrics are bound to linger on your lips for weeks, and it's advisable to forewarn your loved ones that this delightful earworm is simply the "desirable" side effect of an exceptional track you've just discovered.
