Who knows what it’s like to be in a daze? I think we all have experienced it from time to time. Stunned and bemused at the sight or sound of whatever you behold. theDOLLDAZE has this effect on her audiences each time she takes the stage.
DoLL has never been one to follow the trends. It has always been about just “being”. She says candidly “Who has a choice in the way God creates you”. Some people do music because it is something that they love but they have no passion behind it. DoLL clearly has the passion of her ancestors and even more an outer-world like spirit behind what she conveys musically. Her shows have been known to create a church like environment. With some of the audience in awe and the others in uproar because of the sheer intensity.
The style of music she’s crafted has many elements and even she admits she doesn’t know what others make of it but she calls it Indie/Rock/Soul. “I would rather not put a name tag on it but people like a point of reference” she says. Her music exemplifies the blurred genres that the emerging Indie scene in Atlanta brings to the music industry.
Born and raised in Atlanta, GA she has a natural southern charm and the accent to match. She has a genuine sweetness that hasn’t been tainted by the rah- rah of the superficial “Black Hollywood” some have come to know Atlanta for. She has a down to earth perspective on life and how to treat people. She has the true spirit of the GA red clay that exudes whenever you see her. For this reason some say her music takes on a personality of it’s own because it’s seemingly polar opposite of her everyday Atlien way. This is a part of the DAZE element. ATL has a gem and she is surely becoming a favorite for the bubbling scenes around town.
Her latest release a EP entitled “Acid Report: the missing peace” has slowly made its way to the ears of audiences in Atl and beyond. One of the fan favorites “Let it Blow” has a tinge of Latin influence and the tempo changes throw you into a place that catches you off guard at first but then makes you smile after you follow it. The six songs on her EP channel subjects that make you wanna get up and go for your dreams like in “2040″ or even scream and thrust your head back and forth like in “the Hard Way”. Her goal was to introduce a portion of her sound to audiences so they get a small taste of what lies ahead for the dazed one.
theDOLLDAZE’s newest musical endeavor is a romantic tale entitled “Mystic Novel” a short film/novel concept album. She can’t say to much about it besides it’s a sort of period based semi-psychotic love story. The artwork and song snippets for the first passage will be released in late winter or early spring of 2010. She assures you will not be disappointed.
