Hip-hop/R&B artist DapYP recently released his single/music video, “A Lover’s Dilemma,” a song about having to make a choice between two loves – his career and love for a woman.
Leading with introspective lyrics and an undeniably catchy hook, the track presents empathy for his partner and a refreshing sense of self-awareness that music has captured his full attention. Knowing that his lover is not getting the emotional commitment she deserves, he channels his feelings into a catchy tune with introspective lyrics.
“True love galore, though it’s right in front of me – I still ignore / Just a man staring at his core / Like what Ima do with this bright light / Shine it with the stars for the nightlife.”
DapYP uses his music to explore the complexities of romantic relationships as well as themes of love, growth, and self-discovery. Inspired by the likes of Andre 3000 and Pharrell, DapYP has developed his own style and vocal delivery that’s both soulful and energetic, capturing the attention of music lovers and industry professionals alike.
“A Lovers Dilemma” comes paired with an entertaining visual where we see DapYP show up on the red carpet, soaking up the spotlight while leaving his girl behind – a message that makes it clear she might not be his priority.
Soaking up the spotlight, the images reveal the vibe that he’s questioning his own priorities and at the very end, we are presented with a glimpse of DapYP’s emotional emptiness. Once the glitz and glam fade, he is alone.
“A Lover’s Dilemma” rolls out on a pulsating rhythm, blending hip-hop, pop, and hints of R&B. DapYP’s deluxe flow gives the lyrics vibrant flavors and upbeat surfaces. A full harmonic stop reveals his lover whispering in his ear – “listen to me” – followed by lullaby chimes and a droning synth.
With “A Lover’s Dilemma,” DapYP delivers a buoyant, infectious beat and contagious rhymes, forming a luscious earworm of a song.
