DANTE’s debut single plays things straightforwardly cool. His vocal theatrics sound natural amidst this brand of pop rock, all with flashy guitars, bright keys, and choppy effects that are placed organically within the song. Everything plays perfectly in portraying affection for someone that just can’t slip off his fingers, like smoke that keeps following him. A presence that never fails to capture his attention.
While “Yosi” lays out a familiar formula – especially in the OPM circuit – that DANTE definitely plays into, there is enough potency in his performance and production to highlight. This ends up becoming a solid introduction to his overall musicianship, where the real test will come later. For now, this is a cigar worth taking, where you just feel the first puff of smoke before you eventually head out to find more.
