DMV music artist Dulli drops a new single and visual for “Don’t Leave Me Behind”
Lorton, Virginia, artist Dulli drops a fresh new single and video titled “Don’t Leave Me Behind”. 18-year-old DMV artist Dulli’s music represents more than just unique songwriting, clever rhyme schemes, and intricate deliveries. He is also an entrepreneur, fashion designer, and overall artist, and he references his “One Way” lifestyle and brand throughout his catalog and fashion line. The drive behind many of his musical decisions, Dulli’s “One Way” acts as an anthem and a constant reminder to oneself that there’s “only one way, and it’s up.” This is made evident with his latest offering, “Don’t Leave Me Behind,” with its uplifting, powerful sound and message.
“Don’t Leave Me Behind” contains refreshing production from 4am Babz built around poignant soul samples drifting above a catchy, grooving rhythm section. Dulli provides a highlight vocally as he weaves together engagingly written lines rapidly, delivered with a commanding yet relaxed delivery. The accompanying visual, shot by BALANCE Art House, is potent and captivating, with its minimalistic approach and refreshingly sleek style capturing the viewer’s attention from the get-go.

Album Review
Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”
Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.
Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.
“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.
The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.
The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
