De\u2019Wayne is a pop star in the making. His third release June<\/i> is a musical bait teeming with hooky earworms that no one \u2013 irrespective of their musical affiliation \u2013 can possibly resist. June<\/i> has the hallmark of a fantastic pop-rock record with its flamboyantly loud music, pristine production, and charismatic vocals that would appeal to any judge on the hit television series The Voice<\/i>, and one that can sing anything from soul, funk, rock, indie pop, to pure pop with the weightlessness and joy of singing in the privacy of one\u2019s own shower.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The lyrics, which are easily relatable \u2013 although a bit grating sometimes \u2013 favor the directness of pop music over the mystery of imagery, making them easily hummable without one even realizing, like: \u201cThere she goes, my love raider. With a grin like a crusader. Eat you up and spit you out later. Ain’t nobody stopping this feral animal.\u201d Or, \u201cYou put a spell on me, somehow you tricked my heart. You gave me ecstasy, while I trip in the dark.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
De\u2019Wayne certainly puts all of his creative muscle into the poetry in the music versus the poetry in the lyrics, and it is very wise of him to do so. Who cares how the words sound if the music is this good! In a mere 37 minutes, De\u2019Wayne checks off genres with the casualness of checking off items in his shopping list while he is doing groceries\u2026and every minute of this is totally entertaining and all around fabulous.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While name-dropping artists like Prince and Lenny Kravitz is way too convenient while comparing talent, there is no better vocabulary to describe De\u2019Wayne\u2019s elevated artistry that he exhibits with the same confidence and swagger as these two pop legends on this record. It is hard to picture a future De\u2019Wayne as anything but a pop star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":35346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[11113],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-47238","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-dewayne","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/40"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=47238"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=47238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
