Domi Louna and JD Beck have fine voices, and unfortunately they sing in the same register, key, and tone on basically every song on this thing, making it rather monotonous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">By &#8220;GROWiNG OLDER,&#8221; I was sure I was listening to the same 10-minute song, when in reality I was five songs into this album. The drumming is super quiet, and all of Louna&#8217;s keyboard wizardry is lost in the shuffle whenever the vocals appear. And since all of the songs are in weird, Berklee jazz student timings, all of the vocals need to be syncopated and off-beat, which is clearly done through the digital edit, giving a ballady song like &#8220;SMALL EYES&#8221; an uncanny lo-fi feel. I&#8217;m sorry, but the lyrics should not sound like a Myspace-era mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">I understand that DOMi &amp; JD Beck were going for a more jazz-pop vibe on <em>WHO ASKED?<\/em> and adding vocals definitely does that, but man, get some vocal features so it all doesn&#8217;t sound the same. I bet Anderson .Paak was available again, just like on the debut, <em>NOT TiGHT<\/em>. Anyways, it seems like there is an instrumental version of <em>WHO ASKED? <\/em>coming, so maybe I&#8217;ll check that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: WHO ASKED?\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/3nehlgwYexH9ovS9fohKs1?si=rw5rPIBnTpKfBaZahw_aAA&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOMi &amp; JD Beck&#8217;s recent sophomore release, WHO ASKED? is, unfortunately, not tight.
