Dosik has honed his craft as part of a burgeoning Los ': ,: Angeles scene that reinvents past forms of popular music to :, : exist in the present tense. He is a regular collaborator with : :' Vulfpeck, was named by Quincy Jones as an artist to watch, and ': ,: has released music of his own, most recently 2017Æs EP, Game :, : Winner. On his full-length debut, Dosik starts out simply enough : :' û glimpses of DosikÆs vocal range hover over a sparse piano and ': ,: guitar arrangement, anchored by snapping fingers. ItÆs quiet but :, : ù in keeping with the songÆs concept, which Dosik described as : :' ôdeep, sexual, but also kind of sillyöù itÆs also a thrilling, ': ,: intimate moment, one where the purity of the melody and DosikÆs :, : spot-on phrasing fall perfectly in line. For as prolific as heÆs : :' been, and as much of a name as heÆs made for himself, itÆs only ': ,: with 'Inside Voice' that Dosik is getting the chance to show how :, : much he can do, and how much ground he can cover without losing : :' sight of his foundation. ': ,: :, : ThereÆs a level of control and depth on æInside Voice' thatÆs : :' rarely achieved in a debut, and the result is an instant ': ,: classic by any standard. The title track opens the record, :, : building gradually into 1970s-style sweet soul, complete with : :' lush strings and a loping groove, putting a decidedly modern ': ,: twist on a classic form. Dosik, a huge basketball fan, :, : understands the value of building on the fundamentals. In fact, : :' this bare bones approach is absolutely crucial to how he ': ,: writes. ôI like to write with the idea that I could perform any :, : song by myself at the piano,ö he says. ôIn 2018, that feels : :' radical to me, because so many people perform with tracks.ö ': ,: DosikÆs songs never come off as formulaic or impersonalùhe owns :, : every note. : :' ': ,: ThatÆs why ôInside Voiceö is followed immediately by ôGet It :, : Right,ö a melancholy, Marvin Gaye-style plaint that balances : :' hope with despair. ôStoriesö deftly splits the difference ': ,: between gospel and Paul Simon, and on a Bill Withers cover, no :, : less. This always coming back to the core of classic American : :' songwriting is what makes 'Inside Voice' so satisfying, and it ': ,: echoes through the record. ôTake Mineö plays with negative space :, : to heighten drama around a repetitive, gut-punching melody; what : :' feels like a love song is actually a plea for unity against the ': ,: turbulent backdrop of present-day politics. ôEmergency Landing,ö :, : with its slow drag rhythm and gossamer arrangement, : :' continually rallies around DosikÆs introspective yet determined ': ,: vocals. :, : : :' For its stripped-down eloquence, 'Inside Voice' is also a deep, ': ,: rich record on which, as Dosik puts it, he ôgot to play the :, : studio like an instrument.ö ItÆs also a nod to the LA recording : :' scene of the early 1970s when, as Dosik puts it, ôthere were ': ,: great studios, great session musicians, and great songwritersö :, : who fell all over the stylistic and demographic map. ThatÆs what : :' Dosik sought to recreate by drawing in collaborators like ': ,: Flying Lotus associate Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, who arranged all :, : the strings, and the shapeshifting, genreless Moses Sumney, who : :' contributed backing vocals. And while not ': ,: native to the city, the polymath Mocky, who has produced :, : recordings by Jamie Lidell and Feist, ran point on several : :' tracks. Like his idol Carole King, Dosik is an endlessly ': ,: resourceful lyricist who can paint a picture vividly, as the :, : heartfelt ôGrandma Song.ö Dosik excels at doing more with less, : :' and his sophistication can also surprise. And while 'Inside ': ,: Voice' places a premium on economy it doesnÆt skimp on :, : musicianship, as on the albumÆs hardest track, the crackling, : :' boogie-inflected, ôPast the Point.ö ': ,: :, : 'Inside Voice' doesnÆt just bring together figures from around : :' the city. ItÆs also a mΘlange of styles across the years. Dosik ': ,: himself acknowledges, ôthe challenge lies in making a record :, : very much rooted in the lost golden age of recorded music, while : :' staying modern.ö ThatÆs the unspoken credo of what Dosik and ': ,: his peers have been doing for years. But with 'Inside Voice,' he :, : has the opportunity to really dig in. There are certainly some : :' familiar touchstones on the record. ThereÆs also a lot thatÆs ': ,: undeniably contemporary here, from Dosik's production touches to :, : his insistence on always being himself lyrically. : :' Ultimately, Dosik draws on the past as a point of departure for ': ,: making music thatÆs fresh and contemporaryùafter all, the best :, : musicians ôhave always bent the rules.ö Across æInside Voice,Æ : :' Joey Dosik does a remarkable job of both honoring those rules ': ,: and deviating from them, letting his uncanny gift for crafting a :, : song guide him at all times. : :' ': ,: But to simply nod at the recordÆs craftsmanship misses the :, : point. ÆInside VoiceÆ is a record that both honors and : :' transcends its references, challenging the constraints of ': ,: genre. ItÆs brimming with emotions that can lift you up or break :, : your heart. ItÆs catchy as hell and can haunt you for days. You : :' can take a casual pass at it or spend hours listening on ': ,: repeat. Either way, æInside VoiceÆ will get to you. Because Joey :, : Dosik writes human music for human beings. And boy does he write : :' the hell out of it.
