GORDO intertwines genres and creates a new house movement with ‘DIAMANTE’: Listen
Creating a house movement that reflects upon hip-hop, Latin music, and pop-culture influence, GORDO has officially released his debut album ‘DIAMANTE’ The sixteen-track album takes listeners on a euphoric and vibrant journey with high-profile collaborators such as Drake, T-Pain, Alice Aera, Maluma and more.
Diamante Blackmon is not just any producer or artist in the dance music industry, he has inspired change and reflected upon his past to bring to life a new project known as GORDO. With years and years of experience in the hip-hop industry, GORDO is no stranger to the music scene and the legend has finally debuted his highly-anticipated album known as ‘DIAMANTE‘. The album is a true masterpiece and showcases his vision to create a new movement in the house music scene.
Taking inspiration from hip-hop, Latin music, and pop culture, GORDO has invited collaborators such as Drake, T-Pain, Alice Aera, Maluma, and many more on the album. With soothing vocals and a slow-tempo piano backdrop, the single breathes new life as GORDO takes us into his world of pure euphoria and breathtaking sound design. With the album making waves across the music scene and bringing together fans of various genres, although GORDO and Drake had been friends for over a decade, their musical collaboration only began with Drake’s dance-infused album ‘Honestly, Nevermind.’ On ‘DIAMANTE,’ Drake’s vocals merge seamlessly with GORDO’s talent, creating music to our ears with ‘Sideways’ and ‘Healing.’ As ‘Honeyland‘ with Afshin Momadi takes us into a taste of afro-house, this one is for those endless summer nights on the beach. With a bassline backdrop and awe-inspiring instrumentals, the tune is truly one of a kind. Sharing his thoughts behind the album, GORDO states:
“There’s nothing I would change; I suppose that’s why it took four years—to make sure I could look at it and know it’s perfect. This album is dedicated to my grandmother, my family, friends, and loved ones. I hope you enjoy what I believe to be some of the best music I’ve ever created.”
