NEW SINGLE RELEASE – Dionne ‘Golden Boy’
6 November 2023
It’s the perfect dose of escapism to defeat January blues, and take you to that feeling of being in the club, dancing, surrounded by your best friends, or dancing in a world of your own. It’s a song for getting ready, and equally for the taxi back home. I for one want to hear this banger at the gay clubs in 2024, but I will also be playing it loud and dancing like nobody’s watching in my bedroom. This feeling of euphoric solipsism is in her lyrics:
‘In the crowd Might as well be alone Cause nothing else feels like home.’
Her personal lyrics are paired wonderfully with a catchy hook and chorus. This is definitely a sing-along anthem, it’s hard not to find yourself belting ‘cause it feels so good!’
Before this track, Grant released her cover of ‘Disturbia’ which was her production debut. She reinvigorated the classic with interpolated vocals, piano, and her dreamy, sweet-sounding voice.
Her ‘Disturbia’ cover feels exciting, and ‘Outerbody’ is the perfect follow up from this to showcase her lyricism and fresh sounding pop sound.
Sharing her feelings about the song, Grant said “I would love the listener to actually experience the song, and be taken out of whatever stresses they are dealing with, and get lost in it. I love that the lyrics describe how you can be on your own, or surrounded by people in a club, but when your favourite song comes on, you can just be taken out of everything and be in a world of your own.”
She has certainly achieved that vibe with this song, and if you give it a listen you can let yourself get lost in it. Grant has started 2024 off on a high, and the rest of the year still awaits!
