The sudden realization that I haven’t written a SINGLE POST on this blog through the entire of 2023 has me in armageddon zones right now. Four months deep and nothing to show for it but a full time job and an Arsenal title that’s on the cusp of dissolving – I’m irked. I’ve become irked, this has irked me. If you’re in need of peacemaking as much as I am (for perhaps you too are irked) then Dolorres is the one. The record we’re gonna get into is called BOSCO but the hook repeats the word ‘cura’ time and again, which loosely seems to translate to ‘care’ or ‘treatment’, appropriate for a track that feels so balming to harsh moods. I’ve written about him a previously on this here spot and the magic of this lad is that those words now feel entirely irrelevant by virtue of his constant capacity to grow. What I said about his music making then doesn’t speak at all to the song he’s dropped most recently, an italo-club hybrid record that fuses bars in italian with thumping club moments and beautifully synthetic vocal melodies. Much is duly made of the sonic and cultural development of hip-hop within Australia over the last decade+ and it feels personified (songified?) so clearly through this Dolorres record. I’m not doubling down on his backstory again (read the last time I wrote about him if you want to know more) so we’re just gonna come straight at the track, let the song and visuals speak to the craft. Live in this one with me.
