Dani Offline - Lover’s Discourse (Album)

LA based multidisciplinary artist Dani Offline introduces her debut album Lover’s Discourse, a lush 12 track exploration of love, romance and emotional complexity wrapped in the warmth of ’70s soul, jazz and contemporary R&B.

Inspired by the Quiet Storm radio Dani grew up listening to in D.C. and Roland Barthes’ 1978 book A Lover’s Discourse, the record began life through diary entries and musical improvisations. Co-produced alongside longtime collaborator Vooo, its primarily analogue, sample-free production gives tracks such as ‘weary soul’, ‘ouch!’ and ‘2 weeks notice’ a rich vintage character, while the infectious ‘reasons’ and buoyant ‘icarus’ bring a lighter, more rhythmic energy.

Following recent singles ‘Angel’, ‘weary soul’ and ‘reasons’, Lover’s Discourse feels both nostalgic and distinctly Dani Offline, pairing sweet melodies with candid observations on the many sides of love. From the crackling radio introduction of ‘tell me’ through to tender closer ‘juno’, it’s an assured debut that bridges her jazz foundations with a soulful, introspective take on modern R&B.

The album also marks the beginning of a new chapter for Dani, with her first solo headline tour across the US and UK set to follow.
