Baritone vocals and acoustic, expressive design – an old-school performative charm reimagined with modern production tools. Dean James is the elusive artist at work, and This Is Dean presents six immersive original songs to introduce his sound.
We begin with a dramatic theatrical male choir, a deeper lead and story to resonate with, as Before The Drums Begins delivers something distinct and unusual yet satisfying.
After this, the longer journey of Those Who Don’t Return approaches a kind of Frank Sinatra vibe, with subtle strings, space, emotion, and scenes from a story that’s timelessly poignant and impactful. The dynamic between these opening songs is suggestive of a creative mind whose passion lies amidst music in many forms.
From folk and Americana to a musical-esque emotional intention, This Is Dean allows a nostalgic music lover to truly live out the feelings and artistry contained within, and by the character and fluidity of the voice, there’s no doubt Dean James will be returning with more new music very soon.
