His name isn’t the only thing AltoDZI has been changing; he has been dipping his feet in a number of sounds and styles as he traverses this wide landscape, trying to find and balance a musical niche that will have far-reaching appeal. And in case you hadn’t heard of him, I want you to consider him one of your proudest musical discoveries (because he’s about to be!) He exudes a natural aura and charisma, complemented by his distinctive South Korean charm.
In his endeavor to seamlessly blend various elements and create a unique sound, AltoDZI has started the New Year with an enticing new jam, “Wide Awake” that is a heartbreaking emo ballad that balances the energy of hip-hop with the elegance of Korean R&B. The end result is something radio-ready!
Every detail counts in this short and sweet masterpiece, and that is why you will find that piano intro very captivating and alluring, as AltoDZI’s background vocals lay an inviting foundation, which, when intensified, bring forth a modern hip-hop beat.
AltoDZI immediately steals a listener’s heart with that indelible chorus that sets the tone for this infectious track. His sweet-sounding and distinct vocals envelop a listener in a hauntingly beautiful R&B appeal as he repeats the chorus three times before showcasing his excellent rap skills on the second verse and elevating the track to new heights altogether.
The catchy hook makes its way all over again, and by this time it is firmly ingrained in the brain, so you can’t help but sing along…encouraging listeners to not only sing but also dance along to the catchy beat at the track’s heart.
There is quite a lot to love about this jam: the infectious appeal, the futuristic beat, the haunting piano, and, of course, the vocal prowess AltoDZI showcases.
This is an essential addition to any rap and R&B playlist. It absolutely boosts any playlist it is put in!
