Dino Jag has decided to cut loose those great tracks that have been on shelf for a while. And why not? After all the dude can sing a tune and make music that sounds great around all of the lyrics so it makes sense.
From The Demo Vault (Previously Unreleased) is a four track EP that focuses on Dino’s great pop voice with irresistible hook filled soundtracks to back it all.
“Twenty Four Seven” has always had hit single written all over it. The first time I heard it three years ago I felt it was a great track and one that would catch on quickly. It took over three years but now it is officially released and everyone will understand why I liked it to begin with. “You’re The One” carries that tried and tested tale of love and finding the right person and everything it takes to make it happen. “No Sense” and “Different” are very upbeat musically and offer up catchy grooves as well to offset the more serious tone of the lyrics. I must admit that Dino made some very good choices when deciding to blow the dust off these select tracks.
Dino Jag really knows how to carry a tune and get his words over in a big way. Each track has slight variations in presentation, vocal range, and music. Most impressively is the mixture of instruments he utilizes on each track, making each one individual for the listeners.
Hopefully this is a prequel to a full length album of pop gems that will make its entrance in 2010.
