With his debut single, “ppl plsr,” DNL has made a strong entrance into the realm of music, establishing himself as must-not-miss rising artist. “ppl plsr” is a well-crafted demonstration of DNL’s passion and dedication to breaking into the music industry, gracefully intertwining hints of R&B and bedroom pop to create an infectiously catchy tune.
“ppl plsr” is an energetic and funky ballad that delves into the theme of young love and the pressure to satisfy others. It portrays the struggle of striving to meet expectations but ultimately falling short and succumbing to disappointment. Backed by a groovy bassline and soulful keys, DNL sings,
“I can’t leave and wonder why / I guess it’s ’cause I / I’m a people pleaser / they love me or they hate me / I ain’t fine with either / but you the same damn way / ’cause you don’t like neither / that’s why you got your head down / every time I get to see you”
Assisted by LA-based producer Jonah Bru, DNL skillfully blends melancholic lyrics with an upbeat track, achieving a delicate balance between not being overly pessimistic and not being overly joyful. DNL’s crooning vocals effortlessly complement the rhythmic groove of the bassline and gentle keys and synth, resulting in a harmonious and well-crafted musical piece.
With his introspective lyricism and smooth, comforting vocals, DNL is a budding talent poised to make waves with his first release. Drawing influences from the likes of Frank Ocean and Johnny Cash, DNL melds pop, R&B, rock, and hip-hop elements to create a distinctive sound that is truly his own.
