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>‘s “SATURATION” series – namely, the ones fronted by\u00a0Bearface<\/strong>. But, hearing Dijon’s own work, it’s obvious that this is a guy who belongs in the foreground.<\/p>\n

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

I’m 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, “A Horse From Memory”, isn’t far off is even more exciting. An authentic artist with good stories to tell, and a knack for telling them – what more could you ask for?<\/p>\n
