Dessa – Chime

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release from singer, rapper, essayist, Dessa, a member of the Doomtree crew. Dessa has spent years forging her own path in the music world. Chime is the product of Dessa's unusual trajectory. Her skill with swirling harmonies is evidence of a childhood listening to her father play classical guitar; her literary lyrics are the work of a published writer; her ferocity as a rapper was forged on stage with Doomtree (the explosive Minneapolis hip-hop collective); and her clever references reveal her academic history. Chime showcases Dessa at her finest-she's fierce and tender, deft, and passionately curious. For this third full-length album, Dessa teamed up with Grammy-nominated composer/arranger Andy Thompson and Doomtree CEO/producer Lazerbeak to bring the project to life.
