DeweyQuinton | ‘American Lust’, A Polarizing Love Ballad
Looking for that perfect late-night track to keep the vibe lowkey? Add ‘American Lust‘ by DeweyQuinton to your laid-back playlist. The North Carolina native, now based in Los Angeles, combines several musical influences to craft a bop that is ‘American Lust.’
The artist’s stage name is a combination of his first and middle names. Regarding the absence of a space between the two names, it’s intentional. DeweyQuinton tells us it’s traditional “Southern form” to run all the words together.
The musician began writing poetry at a very young age. His love for poems and word structure eventually led him to music as he got older. DeweyQuinton credits his older brother for getting him into music, and we’re certainly grateful he did.
DeweyQuinton’s ‘American Lust’ was produced by Max HeadRoom and Chase Bell. Regarding the next-up artist’s influences, he isn’t cryptic on what led him to craft the hit song ‘American Lust.’
DeweyQuinton delicately describes the feelings of sharing an intimate moment with someone special. Although several artists attempt to describe similar experiences, DeweyQuinton’s unique form of music just hits different.
Throughout ‘American Lust,’ the up-and-coming artist displays his inner poet with his one-of-a-kind lyrical structure. DeweyQuinton’s choice of words and how he chooses to rhyme each phrase is diverse but works in all the right ways. The reason ‘American Lust’ stands out is primarily credited to the poetic nature of his rhythmic structure.
DeweyQuinton shows off his vocal range with numerous series of vocal runs that overlap each other. The combination of his melodic runs and the echoey effect he puts on his voice makes for a trippy musical experience.
Another aspect of ‘American Lust’ that can’t go without recognition is DeweyQuinton’s ability to switch from aesthetic singing to R&B style rap. With each transition, the L.A. musician seamlessly glides from displaying his divine singing voice to a smooth rap flow.
DeweyQuinton’s lyrics in ‘American Lust’ are complemented by a hard-hitting beat with dark tones. As the rhythm displays a consistent bass bumping in the backdrop, DeweyQuinton’s vocals match the pitch flawlessly. The R&B-inspired beat pairs unbelievably well with DeweyQuinton’s carefully crafted lyrics and unique flow.
All that’s on DeweyQuinton’s radar in the future is growth. The L.A.-based musician plans to release a brand new E.P. titled ‘My Sweet Ambrosias’ on all music streaming platforms by mid-May. Also, the rapper is focusing on making more visuals and partnering with small businesses in the Los Angeles area to promote his music.
