Many times I sit and contemplate what draws me to artists like denitia and sene. and it seems to always come down to the authenticity felt, the details and the cleverness of the presentation. And of course the balance of creating new artistic boundaries as well as allowing the listener to hold close what's familiar.
Every song by denitia and sene. are standout tracks, but when you experience them collectively like with their album "his and hers." you really get a feel for how much they pour themselves into their music while having fun creating together. It totally shows. They are what the games been missing. They are the perfect dynamic, stylistic duo where their vocals complement each other over sene's transcending productions. Denitia and sene. 's music resonates so well with me, like many of the other artists I feature here on Really Not Radio, is that you can't place them in a cute little box and limit their reach by applying labels to their sound. Music and artistry is to be felt and is perceived by everyone differently yet the universal outcome is that it's just good music that you will find yourself pressing play over and over again for weeks ha. True story.
There are so many things I love about these two even down to their story of meeting at a collective, creative space in Brooklyn, NY one night to how they use lower case letters and punctuation just because. To the cleverness of down to earth lyrics to vocal arrangements and using silence in the right places as sound makes an impact. As well as the understanding to use sounds that are ear-catching down to the warm sonics of the mix and using all the space in the mix. Yes, I pay attention to all of these things and that's why I know denitia and sene. will be around for a long time if they choose to.
I wasn't surprised to learn that their musical influences range from Sade to Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Beatles to Janet Jackson because of the versatility of songs experienced from the album "his and hers.". At first listen I felt elements of Sade, City High and JDavey...and genres...and eras like alternative, r&b, dance and hip hop from the 60's-80's-90's with a denitia and sene. flair, which is so cool to me. I'm not going to keep you much longer so you can get into the smooth sexiness, but just a few last remarks lol. They create the type of music that if heard at a bar/lounge you would instantly start dancing like no one is watching *hands in the air and eyes closed doing your lil sexy dance thinking about that one*. Or better yet there's something you've been wanting to tell that special someone, but haven't worked up the nerve to say it? Play them a denitia and sene. song and keep your fingers crossed in hopes they listen to lyrics LOL. Well, alright as usual make sure you support dope artists and their music by attending shows when they are in your area, buy merch and at the very least press play on their music and connect with them on your favorite social networks!
