Mixtape Review: Dan D’Lion – 'When One Thing Leads To Another'

Multi-talented singer, producer and songwriter Dan D'Lion shares new mixtape ‘When One Thing Leads To Another’. 

From soaring opener ‘Pull Me Under’ to softly melancholic closing track ‘AMILLION21’, ‘When One Thing Leads To Another’ packs the full spectrum of future-pop. Whether you’re looking for upbeat grooves or more emotive numbers, you will not be disappointed. Aside from expertly crafted soundscapes that thrill with beat-heavy rhythms and undeniably addictive melodies, Dan D’Lion capitalises on his extremely intoxicating vocals that seamlessly transition between moods. Standout moment here is ‘Push 45’ that effortlessly combines smooth beats with immersive electronica and delicate lyricism and creates a perfect 10. 

"This project is a dive into those emotions I feel in a relationship. From the first time you meet someone...the intrigue and interest…to feeling infatuated and fascinated by them,” Dan D’Lion explains. “All honest relationships have their ups and downs and I’ve learnt things from every relationship and friendship which has allowed me to better myself. We all experience that whirlwind of emotions when we meet someone that truly means something to us."

‘When One Thing Leads To Another’ is an impressive piece of music that solidifies his unique take on British pop. Eclectic and creative, Dan D’Lion refuses to be confined to a single box or genre, instead he creates his own brand of sound and casually exceeds expectations.
