Whether we’re talking that voice, that songwriting, or that strum on the guitar, dijon is that artist. On a seemingly emotional path of personal struggle and self-discovery, the resulting music has thrived and found itself manifested as some of the most artistically experimental, influential tracks of the last year or so. The genius of it all lies in its honesty. dijon makes the kind of music that all of our inner journeys would sound like if all of us were world class musicians. But we’re not.

 

Thankfully for us, dijon, with records like his most recent, Cannonball, has the knack for soundtracking the emotional turmoil all of us struggle to balance in our daily lives. A vibrant tale of loss and wanting, Cannonball is another delivery from an artist somehow tight roping so many stylistic directions that he’s invented one all his own.
