Dijon<\/strong> first came to my attention as a collaborator, having provided backing vocals on what I thought were the best tracks from\u00a0BROCKHAMPTON<\/strong>\u2018s \u201cSATURATION\u201d series \u2013 namely, the ones fronted by\u00a0Bearface<\/strong>. But, hearing Dijon\u2019s own work, it\u2019s obvious that this is a guy who belongs in the foreground.<\/p>\n

His latest track and video, \u201cVIOLENCE )\u201d is a love song that\u2019s as beautifully organic as they come. The drowsy guitar work and the beat\u2019s fluttery shuffle impart a dizzyingly familiar feeling of warm ecstasy mixed with butterflies, while the mellow but encapsulating vocals tell a story that\u2019s detailed and personal, but somehow universal. This is a private letter exposed, a passionate in-joke that\u2019s still funny because you\u2019ve heard one so similar.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m begging you, Violet<\/h3>\n

Would you stay around with me?<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dijon<\/strong> is an exciting artist, and the fact that his upcoming EP, \u201cA Horse From Memory\u201d, isn\u2019t far off is even more exciting. An authentic artist with good stories to tell, and a knack for telling them \u2013 what more could you ask for?<\/p>\n
