D Malik – Prince ft. Michael Lanza (Original Mix)
For his debut release, D Malik has teamed up with Michael Lanza on “Prince”. The Dubai raised, Los Angeles based artist and Lanza Bay Area native use bold guitar chords and striking vocals with rock and electronic influences throughout the track. Be sure to check out the official music video below!
“‘Prince’ showed me that I could incorporate sonic elements from my culture, from South Asia and the Middle East, and represent it on my debut release,” says D Malik. “That was an important realization for me, having grown up on rap and rock and electronic from afar. It’s a piece of my identity for the world to hear – and that’s why I had to lead with it from the very start.”
He continues: “‘Prince’ is the nucleus – the start of this journey, in every way imaginable. It’s a piece I’ve been working on for almost two years, first created at my studio in Los Angeles and then taken around the world, from London to my hometown of Dubai. It was the first record from this new era that really impacted me – and the one that absolutely means the most…”
Lanza is know for his own originals like “Burn” and “Attention“, but has also made vocal covers of songs like “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” by Green Day and violin covers of songs such as “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac and “Don’t Stop Now” by Dua Lipa.
