Dorian “Proud”

Like fire, the dancing flame, “Proud” taps into the mysterious crossover of genres. The track is hypnotic, captivating, a bit dangerous, and fierce. It seems to be channeling something primal and ancient, something that is untamed yet so deeply connected to nature, our own artistic intuition and the comic power. “Proud” is in a sense chaotic and sensual, where the fascination of electronic pop meets hip hop and R&B in a subtly daring intrigue.

Dorian is quite an extraordinary artist. Guided by his artistic intuition, his delivery is masterfully graceful and aesthetically authentic, blending the genres with style and passion. The captivating entrancement might be the first thing listeners notice about “Proud,” but intricate and brilliantly woven intrigues and non-linear storytelling is simply spectacular.

The music video of “Proud” sets in a vibrant natural atmosphere, where this profound connection and mystic in his music is even more expanded. In the music video, Dorian is in his most authentic self. His artistic style comes with minimalism and color instinct that feels like another layer of storytelling adding into his work.

“Proud” belongs to Dorian’s recent album The Arrival, a two-part collection of original tracks. In there, he dives further more into highly relatable themes with rich emotions and depth. A touch of destiny is throughout his music somehow. An aspect almost feels like his music itself is highly intuitive.
