Violet Topaz marks the latest chapter from singer-songwriter and producer Damiano. Released on the 28August, it’s the artist’s third single, shaped by atmospheric production and cinematic melodies. Following in the immersive footsteps of Little White Lies and DREAMZ, Violet Topaz has a lot to offer listeners.
Damiano’s debut single Little White Lies explores the transformative nature of Los Angeles. As it imagines the surreal, dreamy nature of the city, vibrant riffs on the track truly bring the magic of Los Angeles to life. Hot on the heels of his debut came DREAMZ, the artist’s sophomore song. More melancholic than his previous release, DREAMZ is rooted in vulnerability and introspection.
For fans of KOLA, Credence and Internet Cafe, Damiano brings Las Vegas nightlife to the UK, as showcased on the single’s artwork. Fusing synthesisers and irresistible beats, Violet Topaz is a song made for dancing to. The track makes careful use of timing throughout its production to accentuate builds and drops. The combination of layers and different soundscapes in the single makes it seem otherworldly, as Violet Topaz moves seamlessly between styles. From Pop to EDM, Damiano’s music finds a comfortable fluidity in compositions built on feeling, rather than genre. As hedonism meets illusion, mesmerising lyrics highlight the motifs that run throughout Violet Topaz that simulate late nights and seduction.
What draws listeners to Damiano in particular is his alternative influences and dreamlike storytelling. His discography so far explores the interconnectivity between traits of ambition, romance and self-discovery. Creating poetic singles that evoke universal connection, Damiano’s emotionally charged work is highly intriguing. The emerging artist’s ability to create uniquely intimate music, while leaving its interpretation open and accessible to all listeners, is a skill that will no doubt support his music career as he progresses.
The first steps in Damiano’s debut project have cemented his dynamic creativity and distinctive voice as a strong contender on the rising creatives scene.
