“I LOVE YOU TO DEATH” LAINEY DIONNE

A cohesive album from start to finish, Lainey Dionne’s Self Titled is the perfect blend of catchy melodies and emotionally charged vocals. “I Love You to Death” — the last song on the album — is particularly memorable for its crisp pop sound and impressively layered production.
Lainey Dionne has a unique indie pop sound that feels reminiscent of Ryn Weaver, Maggie Rogers, Lorde and Taylor Swift combined. An alum of Berkeley college of music, Dionne has an extensive knowledge of music production in regards to industry trends and her music clearly shows that. “I Love You to Death” highlights just how versed she is in the ever-changing landscape of pop music.
With a groove that’s hard to resist, “I Love You to Death” sets the mood within the first 30 seconds. Dionne’s voice floats over the intricately composed electronic elements. Percussive claps add a bite that contrasts her smooth vocal tone while elevating the verses. Once the beat drops, that undeniable beat takes hold and makes it impossible not to dance along. One of the most impressive aspects of “I Love You to Death” is the way the underscoring supports the emotional arc seamlessly. The lyric and vocal alone could easily make a listener feel something, yet the production takes it to an entirely new level of connection. Overall, “I Love You to Death” checks all of the boxes when it comes to qualities you look for in a pop song — singable melodies, production that makes you dance without thinking and lyrics that have a clever, memorable bite.

Check out “I Love You to Death” by Lainey Dionne on Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon.

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.
