When Dijon takes aim, he never misses” The FADER“a stunning master of top-down soul” The FACE“an incendiary moment for this experimental trailblazer” NME“His voice is out front, running raw and headlong into the unsteady (but rewarding) waters of vulnerability” The New Yorker“Singing like a low-fi Prince” The New York Times

Dijon has today announced debut album ‘Absolutely’, which will be released on November 5th and introduced recently by first single, ‘Many Times’.  This follows last year’s ‘How Do You Feel About Getting Married?’ EP, plus collaborations with the likes of Charli XCX, tours with Omar Apollo, and more. ‘Absolutely’ was recorded over the course of a few fervent weeks whilst in tight confines with a close-knit group of collaborators and friends. The album channels the unfettered emotion of Dijon’s live show, which has become a “you had to be there” topic of conversation in the music community with his performance entrancing any witnesses over the last several years.

To coincide with the album announcement, Dijon shares a video of him performing the opening track to his forthcoming debut full length, showcasing the energy and passion pumped into the recording process of ‘Absolutely’.

As the song builds, more members of the band are revealed in the rustic, country dining room. ‘Many Times’ itself arrived alongside a frantic music video portraying Dijon’s writing process in the same environment as the latest live performance video, capturing the visual world of ‘Absolutely’. ‘Absolutely’ follows Dijon’s critically-acclaimed EP, ‘How Do You Feel About Getting Married?, which included “Jesse,” Vice’s #15 pick on their 100 Best Songs of 2020 list.

‘How Do You Feel About Getting Married?’ is built from the Americana-tinged, R&B palate Dijon introduced on his 2019 debut EP ‘Sci Fi 1‘, and NPR declared the project “a new peak in cerebral, soul-slicing honesty.” Dijon rounded out the year with his highly praised and star-studded collaboration ‘The Stranger,’ featuring John C. Reilly, Tobias Jesso Jr., Sachi, Dan Reeder, and Becky and the Birds, which Rolling Stone said, “feels as if it contains a sprawling, occasionally strange, but ultimately cohesive little universe inside of it.”Stay tuned for more from Dijon coming soon.
