Dessa

Dessa just released a brand new single called “Quinine”. The track was produced by Paper Tiger with co-production by Lazerbeak and additional production from Dessa herself (shout out to that sweet marimba). A true family affair and ultimate collabo heat knocker in every sense. This is the first new bit of recorded music that Dessa has released since 2013’s Parts of Speech album and hints at way more to come.

Off Dessa’s forthcoming album “Parts of Speech”, available on Doomtree Records 6/25/13. Purchase “Call Off Your Ghosts” now on iTunes. From its first track, Dessa’s new full-length ‘Parts of Speech’ (6.25.13, Doomtree Records) announces itself as something different. The Doomtree veteran and inveterate wordsmith — having proved her mettle in the fields of creative non-fiction, spoken-word and hip-hop — jettisons all genre expectations on “The Man I Knew” and croons a heartbreaking lament to a disintegrating relationship at an explosively-building clip. From this moment on Dessa — oft-described as “Mos Def plus Dorothy Parker” for the wit and flow shown off on previous solo albums ‘A Badly Broken Code’ and ‘Castor, The Twin’ — proves she has truly coalesced as an artist, transcending the restrictions of genre to reveal an astonishing multi-platform voice.
