Dorothy Zink – “Turn Off The Light” and “Right Here Now”

Dorothy Zink is described as someone who has no excuse. “She offers excuses, but none justify her exceptionally delusional and relentless compulsion to produce joyful racket.

A mixture of eclectic talent and zany humor, Dorothy Zink’s music is a blend of throbbing EDM styles which reach out towards R&B, Pop and Alternative Rock, and a whole lot more. Her latest Dubstep single “Turn Off The Light”, gives us more of the artist’s abilities and musicality in rhythm, storytelling and talent.

The more the song plays, the more you can sense the urgency in its rhythm and difference in style. This is yet another Dorothy Zink musical incarnation, different form the other songs in her playlist. In fact she hardly uses the same template twice.

As the music plays, you visualize more clearly the storyline at play here, through the rising sounds reaching its scorching peaks and valleys. The drums bang with a vengeance, while the synths and basslines twist and turn relentlessly, before coming to an abrupt end.
