Embark on a Musical Odyssey: Quiet Storm Unveils ‘Song On The Radio’ Single
Prepare to be enveloped in a symphony of creativity as we dive into the tantalizing world of Quiet Storm, the enigmatic musical persona of the illustrious Dean Aslett. Hailing from the vibrant streets of Croydon, this multifaceted artist is poised to grace our auditory senses with his latest sonic masterpiece, ‘Song On The Radio’, released on March 29, 2024.
A maestro of style and melody, Dean Aslett has seamlessly transitioned from his storied career as an A-list celebrity stylist to captivate audiences with his mesmerizing musical compositions. Having styled luminaries ranging from Princess Diana to members of the iconic Duran Duran, Aslett’s journey into the realm of music is nothing short of a riveting evolution.
Imbued with a lifelong passion for performance and electronic beats, Dean’s musical odyssey commenced at the tender age of eleven, when he first laid hands on the keys of a piano and organ. Enveloped by the pulsating rhythms of the late 70s, his fascination with electronic music was ignited by an LP album that transported him ‘Out of This World’, courtesy of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1979.
Drawing inspiration from titans of the industry such as Ennio Morricone, Jerry Goldsmith, Brian Eno, and Bob Clearmountain, Dean’s sonic palette was further enriched by the vibrant tapestry of London’s club scene in the 80s. It was amidst these neon-lit corridors of musical discovery that Quiet Storm began to take shape, fueled by the pulsating energy of New Wave pioneers like David Bowie, Roxy Music, and Duran Duran.
Venturing into the realm of synthesis in 1984 with the acquisition of his first synthesizer, a KORG POLY800, Dean’s musical journey took flight. Forming the five-piece rock outfit Clockwork Orange in 1985, Dean’s musical ambitions continued to soar under the moniker of Quiet Storm, a name steeped in the mystique of Mayfair’s nocturnal allure.
With ‘Song On The Radio’, Quiet Storm deftly navigates uncharted waters, infusing his ethereal soundscapes with an assertive synth-pop anthem. Collaborating with producer Chase Emery Davis, the track pulsates with the infectious energy of upbeat drum machine samples, interwoven with the nostalgic allure of new wave keys and guitars. It’s a sonic tapestry that beckons the listener into a danceable trance, tinged with a poignant sense of defiance and betrayal, reminiscent of the melodic melancholy that defined the 80s.
In the words of Quiet Storm himself, “‘Song On The Radio’ emerged from a desire to break free from convention and explore uncharted musical territories. It’s a departure from my usual abstract compositions, channeling a raw energy that feels distinctly American yet tinged with the unmistakable essence of late 70s new wave. At its core, the song is a cathartic release, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of betrayal.”
So mark your calendars and brace yourselves for a musical journey like no other, as Quiet Storm unleashes ‘Song On The Radio’ upon the world, inviting us to surrender to the intoxicating allure of his sonic symphony.
