The EP:
A prodigious talent who scored a Billboard #1 hit before his 21st birthday, iann dior has continued to refine his sound, exploring matters of the heart with conviction and melodic verve. The 24-year-old singer lets his emotions get the best of him with BLIND, his new EP. Spanning six tracks, the new EP is packed with cathartic angst and infectious melodies, with production from seasoned pro John Feldmann (of the band Goldfinger, and producer for Avril Lavigne, Blink 182, 5 Seconds of Summer, and others) adding heft to each cymbal crash and cascading riff. Highlights from the EP include recent single “House On Fire,” a dramatic power ballad that progresses from gentle acoustic guitar to a thunderous climax, and the driving “Kill You Slowly,” which shows off iann’s falsetto. BLIND is available everywhere now via 10K Projects.
