Embrace the Heartfelt Melodies and Electrifying Grooves of a Fresh Musical Experience from the American-Nigerian Duo
In the pulsating world of Pop and Retro Soul, few newcomers shine as brightly as the dynamic partnership that is STEVE AND DOLAPO. With a profound respect for North American Culture and the rich rhythms of West African Culture, they have harnessed an energy that is nothing short of euphoric. Their latest single, “Give Me The Music”, is a masterful tapestry of joy that beckons listeners to feel every beat and harmony.
Hailing from the vibrant city of Ann Arbor, United States, and bridging continents to Nigeria, this musical duo has forged a bond that reverberates through their soundscape. After meeting online in December 2021, the duo recognized a shared passion for music that transcends geographical boundaries and cultural differences.
It’s this shared vision that is evident in their forthcoming release on July 30, 2024 – an anthemic celebration of the power that music holds to unify and electrify. You can listen to our full playlist which contains the artist’s music, and know more about the artist by scrolling down the page.
Embodying the quintessence of Alternative Pop, “Give Me The Music” finds its roots in the nostalgic essence of the ’80s, yet remains firmly planted in the freshness of contemporary sound. From the very first note, the track envelops you in a blend of Funk, Dance, and Indie Pop, with the presence of synthesizers, vibraphone, and world percussion. Steve Petrinko’s multi-instrumental skills shine alongside Dolapo Oladejo’s poignant songwriting and vocals, creating an array of auditory colours reminiscent of legends such as the Bee Gees and Earth, Wind and Fire.
Their shared experiences in choirs have lent their music a patina of Soul and Contemporary Soul, as evident in their remarkable 8-voice choir rendition of Handel’s “Hallelujah” chorus. Having recorded “Give Me The Music” in their home studios, the artists narrate a tapestry borne of Groove and Rock Pop, meticulously mixed and mastered by Steve himself. This single, a vibrant escapade of Male Vocals and a powerful narrative is a statement of resilience and creative synergy.
