Reborn from Toronto mainstay For Jane, Dilettante‘s self-titled debut effort is a modulated cabaret that tests how wryly powerful pop can be.
Bittersweet throwback bops create technicolour characters, shaking and glimmering like the last sequin clinging to an attic-bound jumpsuit; then, thumping ballads croon and cry like dancing slowly, alone in the spotlight with all of your closest friends.
Dilettante features “Monster,” the sounds of a bruised romantic soaring on a Pulp and shoegaze inspired synth and guitar led track which reimagines harsh words said to an ex.
Written by close collaborator and album producer, Maks Milczarczyk, “Monster” finds Julia Wittmann of the duo diving deep into an emotional character performance as the song’s lead vocalist.
